what a great show!! it is so great and awesome! I love that it shines a light on the down syndrome community. All the people in it are so sweet and awesome and you really want them to accomplish their dreams and go against what the world says that they can't do. It also some very funny moments as well. I will always love this show and it will always have a special in my heart. Down syndrome people can do anything anyone else can do.
I really enjoy watching it and seeing the family dynamics, I didn't score it higher though because I would have liked to see some families who don't have as much money and how they navigate life. I think out of the 7 families they follow only one of them makes the average income or less. The rest have huge houses in L.A. so they definitely have money to get help and assistance that most middle class to lower middle class families wouldn't have access to and I wonder how much that changes their children's development.
This show truly inspired me. The adversity they endure but push through. I am so glad they found each other to relate, become friends like family and to share their life with us. This show has taught me so much about individuals with Down Syndrome and how their disability does not define them but instead made them stronger in so many ways.
This reality series features six young adults with Down syndrome and their families. If this series helps show their dreams and realities. They don't let Down syndrome define their lives. If you know somebody having a Down syndrome child and are considering terminating the pregnancy, please watch this show. This program shows that having a Down syndrome child isn't the end of the world. This series shows they can have normal lives including going to college, having jobs, getting married and more. Congratulations on a well deserved Emmy. The six adults meet at a center in Los Angeles, California. If this series can be educate others about Down syndrome then maybe there wouldn't be a termination rate of about 75%.
I have an 11yo son with down syndrome and I'm so inspired by the young adults on this show!! Watching this group of wonderful and determined individuals makes me smile and brings me joy!! I think Elena and John both have such a great sense of humor, I so enjoy their positive energy and laughter!! I've enjoyed watching Christina and Angel's beautiful love story blossom. I love how Sean wears his heart on his sleeve and has no fear expressing himself!! Steven seems like such a sweetheart, Megan and Rachel have a strong sense of who they are and what they want to be!! Rocco reminds me of my son when he was little, just melts my heart!! All of the individual parents on the show are remarkable warriors and inspire me so much!!!!
