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.

thats fair 💜

No. Every time a white person certain white people see brown people on their screen they get up in arms about it being done for “brownie points” PROVING how important it is for them to see people who look like them on screen.

#REPRESENTATION MATTERS

Obviously.

> Representation is great when it's representing people like me and the people I care about. When it's people that aren't like me, it's "forced" and "just for PR."

We're literally in a thread where that is the case, no need to try and feel high and mighty.
