Why is down syndrome being named as DOWN syndrome?



(i know ur answer is) : Oh..because..individuals with down syndomre are 'down down' dei...


Somehow... this answer do make sense. In fact, people with down syndrome must have some degree of mental retardation.


However...



the real answer is just simply because.. the founder of this syndrome is John Langdon DOWN.
