In essence, BMW is contending that truth should become the standard by which car buyers evaluate manufacturers' brand promises. A novel idea! And this idea has considerable merit, not just for automobile marketers. Companies often want to refine or even reposition their brand promise.
Down syndrome (DS) is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, and often leads to mental retardation. It affects 1 in every 800 babies born. Autism is a complex developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, although it is sometimes diagnosed much later.
Autism is diagnosed in Down syndrome in the same manner as it is diagnosed in other children and adults who do not have Down syndrome. Autism is diagnosed on the basis of behaviour. Blood tests and brain scans cannot reveal if an individual has Autism.
