It is important to recognize that while a person who has Down Syndrome can have a good life it is also possible for them to have a terrible life. Just because we see many images of happy people with Down Syndrome it would be wrong to say they are all happy, that is like saying all brow eyed people are smart, it is an unhelpful generalization. It is also important to remember that people with disabilities are far more likely to be abused and neglected than people from the general population. So yes they can have a happy life is the right thing to say.
