What kinds of behaviors do you want to reinforce? What do you want less of? Is it possible to get more of the good stuff and less of the bad stuff in your current context?

If yes, try it.

If no, I think this is a matter of acceptance. It’s really unfortunate.

    They do not have the mask so they are free to express more of their true self if they wish. So I would like to encourage that.

    I would like to discourage the person from embodying various stereotypes in their worst forms. They don't have to pretend they have DS, and act like a braying half-wit ignoramus, which is not what DS people are anyways.
