Down's Syndrome is a mental disability with very distinctive characteristics. David Wright looks at the care and treatment of Down's sufferers - described for much of history as 'idiots' - since Medieval Europe right up to the present day; considering the change in attitudes, care, and identification of the condition in the modern era.
