Amazing watching these wonderful humans navigate life, love & everything else as individuals & as a group. Many moments will bring a tear, & many will make you laugh. A fantastic show with a great cast, all of whom have beautiful families & friensa. A must watch!
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.
I have never before felt motivated to write a review for a television show. Well, this show inspired me! The cast is so authentic with their feelings and emotions. These people are putting themselves out there in an emotionally captivating way. They are sending the world strong and powerful messages about life, that we should all embrace. This show is about anything BUT disability and has brought "reality T.V." to a level of quality unseen in the past!In a world that places value on unimportant things, the cast in "Born this Way" brings the audience back to life's most beautiful treasures. This show has appeal for a wide range of ages. There are lessons to be learned by all!
I came across this show in an "let's see what the Kardashian trash is up to" moment. Reality shows are not what they used to be. One episode in, and this show had me hooked. THIS is what reality TV should be. It's an insight into people who aren't famous or popular. It's an educational experience in regards to people that aren't exactly like me in everyday life. In the U.S. we have an issue with ignorance and bias. I don't know anyone with DS, and it's so refreshing to learn about people that were born just a little different, but still amazing. There is such an amazing display of strength, fortitude, and "we're people too!" on this show.
Thank you to all of the participants. You're changing the world.

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.
