My teenager and his Down's syndrome - 'James allows you to step back and look at the world in a different way'

James Harris is like any other teenager.

He loves swimming, riding his bike, and playing with his older brother.

James was born with Down's syndrome and his mother has spoken to ITV News about wanting to challenge perceptions about raising a child with the condition.

When James was born, Kate said her and her husband "didn't have anywhere near the amount of social media and online support that there is now for parents".

"Day-to-day life being shown through the eyes of parents in their blogs and vlogs which shows that a person with Down's syndrome in your family is not something to be fearful of".

Kate and her family are part of the 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' campaign which aims to challenge outdated perceptions about people living with Down's syndrome.
