In my experience Dominicans are not terribly tactful. I am often getting told "you look fatter", "you look thinner", "you have a spot on your chin", and even an old lady beggar I USED to give 20RD$ to, called me vieja, so she doesn't get any more twenty pesos from me.
So, I have some friends coming to stay, and they have a 16 year old Downs Syndrome son, who is fabulous. But, in the Uk, with our typical reserve, no one stares at him, or says anything. Anyone any idea what the Dominican response is likely to be to towards him? I've not seen any Downs children here - so no idea if Domincans are used to them.
Thanks
