Yes, with any mental disablity there will be problem ones. Just don't make him to be the reason all of them are a nightmare.
I have an uncle with down syndrome and he is so sweet and kind to all.

He was physically and verbally abusive to teachers and other students and one of the most manipulative people I've ever encountered.
His parents villified anyone who dared to stand up to him and they also used the excuse that he didn't know better. He would be fine until someone told him "no," and then all hell would break loose until they gave in and he got his way.
