It’s an interesting insight. People differ but it’s also true that many might experience what you described. I remember hearing somewhere this remark on people with Down syndrome too.

It's rather sad. I feel bad for the people with Downs syndrome because they are obviously lonely and have the same "needs" as other people but oftentimes they really lack the mental capacity to be in a healthy relationship. There's no malice behind it but it's pretty sad to watch the confused disappointment when you have to turn down their "advances" or the confused terror when people who don't understand it get understandably very angry at the unwanted advances. They simply can't understand why. Most improve over time with age though. The teenage years are rough for them however.
