Did they cast a real Down's Syndrome baby for the role of Petal Mitchell?

Hammer Head was there really any need for your horrible comment?

I wish people would stop refering to people who happen to have Down's Syndrome in this way.
She is a baby who has Down's.

Obvious really. What a stupid question.

Hey Hammer Head, I'm guessing you originally posted something quite hostile, although I never read it, so why all the hostility? There's no need to be rude or disrespectful I've been a member of this messageboard for years now and it was always a relaxed friendly place.
I was simply asking a question where's the harm on that, specifically because the TV world is now technically advanced with special effects etc, there are a numbers ways to get a desired image on screen without the traditional sense.
