Never heard of the show but I'm glad to hear it.

Representation matters, even more so to people who are still in their formative years. I'm glad they're choosing to show positive representation, as Down Syndrome hasn't been treated the kindest by television in the past. It's really a shame, some of the kindest souls I've met had Down Syndrome, and they don't deserve to be mocked for it.

Precisely. My son is such a sweet guy and his laugh is very infectious. Just earlier this week we went to our kids' book fair after school and as we walked through, EVERYONE who worked their knew him and did nothing but praise him. It's been like that with everyone who has met him in his short 6 years on this Earth.
