Book excerpt: When James Berube was born in 1991 his parents knew little about Down syndrome other than that it would render their child "disabled." As they sought to understand exactly what this would mean, they learned not only about the current medical and social treatment of developmental disabilities, but also about the history of how society has understood - and failed to understand - children like James.
