Madeline Stuart, 18, who has Down's Syndrome, has thrived as a model and wants society to recognise that those with the condition can be 'sexy and beautiful'



A teenage girl with Down's Syndrome is challenging traditional attitudes towards beauty by embracing her disability as a 'gift'.

Madeline Stuart, 18, posed for a series of stunning pictures after changing her outlook and shedding more than 40 pounds.

The model, who cut out junk food and exercised more to get into shape, wants people to know that she sees her genetic condition as a 'blessing'.

And the determined teen, from Brisbane, Australia, has posed confidently and glamorously in front of the cameras to celebrate her beauty and challenge attitudes about disability.



Weight gain is often an issue for people with Down's but now Madeline can run without feeling exhausted.

Madeline, who also has a heart condition, also loves dancing, gymnastics, basketball and cheerleading.

With the support of her mother Rosanne – she is now determined to make it into the fashion industry to give an overtly positive impression to the outside world.

Madeline's stunning photoshoot has drawn universal praise on her Facebook page.

Cas WA, said: "Not only will you be a model, you will be a role model for all down syndrome children to thrive for success in any industry.

"Lots of respect and support Madeline. Go get em girl."



Many others have complimented her golden hair and Madeline responded with a few beauty tips.

She said: "I wash it weekly and never add dyes, hairspray or heaters."

She has also thanked people for their kind words about the modelling shots.

A cow dragging her panniculus with 190/110 blood pressure saying she's healthy.
A guy who is mentally ill and it was easier to give him HRT and let him believe his delusion that he can be a different sex
Or the girl with literal downs syndrome

Amazingly the downs girl seems to be the most sane.

These perception changing models have calcified my pineal gland and now i'm only attracted to three extremely specific body types achievable only though lifelong malnutrition and eating disorders, holing up pictures of genetic tests that when held to scrutiny indicate they have a normal number of chromosomes.

"Most individuals with Down syndrome have mild (IQ: 50–70) or moderate (IQ: 35–50) intellectual disability with some cases having severe (IQ: 20–35) difficulties."
