S >> We had this discussion once on the DS listserv and it turns out there's lots of kids with DS who do not sweat. Someone told me it had to deal with delays in brain function and that the sweating would probably come one day. I dunno. I just have it written in her IEP because it is very very dangerous to become overheated. I think there's something else going on with Maddie because she has a hard time with sunlight,,,especially with her eyes. Yet, she loves it. She sits right in front of the window or door to feel the sun, yet it's not direct so she can tolerate it. Donna P.S. This was one of the things, believe it or not, that got the IEP team on Tuesday to recognize that Maddie needs approved private schooling-----they can't guarantee air conditioning in the classroom and since Maddie will be going to school year round, it's necessary.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2000 Report Share Posted May 4, 2000 Yup - Elie was too. Now that it is spring and he is 14, I occasionally notice a slight dewy look. He also ran unexpected elevated temps when ever he overheated, but he flushed and lloked fevered. We always carried water to dump on him since he won't wear a hat. Now he tells us he is hot down to 40 degrees F. Sara >>> stolzfamily@... - 05/04/0 5:07 PM >>> >and she doesn't sweat, so we can't keep her out in the sun for more than 1/2 hour at a time.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Rose has always been one of the " sweat-less " ones. Well,her forehead and hair can get damp but she doesn't sweat under her arms and has no body odor. The plus is that we don't have to deal with deoderant however she is very sensitive to heat. She also has very little hair under her arms-only a few hairs that are not noticable so we also don't have to deal with shaving. However what is strange is that one of her breasts is much, much more developed than the other. Doctors have always told me that some girls just do not develop evenly but by 20 I thought she'd even out. We have gotten used to her look-and tend toward loose shirts-but I imagine that some people who see her are a bit startled. Anyone else ever heard of that in kids with DS or otherwise?
