this problem before. Since 2001 my (then 21 year old) down syndrome son

has slowed down and also begun to exhibit odd behaviour. He takes on

average 2-3 hours to eat each meal when before he would eat faster ....

The first thing that comes to my mind is " depression " . I have heard a

little about depression being a big, but mostly undiagnosed, problem

for adults with Down syndrome at a few confreces her i Sweden. The

cases they told about sounded very much like your son. There is good

medication for this.
