good link motdakasha. I am close friends with a family who has a daughter with Downs. The father said that he felt her sex drive was remarkably "normal" for someone her age(17) and he resented that it was considered taboo for her to try and act on those feelings with someone she felt intimate with. It was a very difficult discussion for the entire family that they still haven't fully resolved. The general belief was that if she wanted to do it with a very close friend who was also disabled then the family would "allow" (tough word choice there) it while making sure that it was protected and comfortable. I don't believe anything has happened yet.
