Q&A: Do any of the children on Jon and Kate Plus 8 have physical or mental disabilities?
Question by Completely_inept: Do any of the children on Jon and Kate Plus 8 have physical or mental disabilities?
I have just started watching the show, and really enjoy how honest the parents are about their experiences. I haven’t been watching for long enough to know much about the individual children, but one or two of them have facial features that resemble children with Downs Syndrome. Is this coincidence or do any of these children struggle with disabilities?

Answer by parental unit
One boy (Joel) has hearing aids, and another (Aden) wears glasses. Thats it as far as I know.
Downs syndrome used to be called mongoloid syndrome, the features of a downs child were thought to resemble that of Asian or Mongolian features. Since Jon is 1/2 Korean his kids all have varying degrees of Asian features, some with more Asian eyes than others.
