I have a similar experience LJ..Theatre visits tearooms and any event where the mix include people/children who have the same needs as the students I worked with.
I have my hand shaken by a Downs adult who had never met me...I dont engage in a way that is noticed maybe I just dont look away as many people do.
In a world where many children are taught not to engage with unknown adults these lovely souls make my day when we pass the time sent in a friendly way.
Heaven will be full of all types of people and I enjoy a portion here and now
