I used to work there (I did the books). Maybe their Thanksgiving celebration, it’s always fun. And we don’t stay that long, ha ha.

I’m totally serious about this, by the way.

The bell-curve of the IQ of kids with mosaic DS is higher, but overlaps that of regular DS. So while some (most) of these children will be smarter than regular kids with DS, some are not.
