Is there a Down syndrome grandmaster ?

Hey everyone i know individuals with Down syndrome are highly capable of achieving great things in the world. My question is there a grandmaster who has Down syndrome ? And if not inform me please. I'm curious about this since I'm a big fan of chess.

I'm sure there are plenty of titled players with High-Function Autism, though.
Not kidding.

When mine broke into "Go ogle", I went out on the porch and stared at the women walking by.

Ok, but there's a big difference between being somewhere on the autism spectrum and having Down's syndrome!
My son has Down syndrome. He's 5 and teaching him chess now. He does lots of stuff that people had previously said "no! are you kidding?" to. Maybe he won't be a GM but I teach him not to let people crap on him.
@Cullister great to hear that
I also have a son with Down syndrome he is only 19 moths now. Can you tell me what is the progress of your son's adventure with chess?
