If you haven’t seen the web series “The Specials” yet, you should check it out! It’s a reality show about five housemates with developmental disabilities living together in a share house in Brighton (four of the five have Down Syndrome).
It’s hilarious! I like Sam the best, he is really out there. Here’s one of my fave episodes where he falls for the Lady Boys of Bangkok:

I think it’s great to have something like this that shows people with disabilities just going about their regular lives – socially, romantically but NOT medically. The creators are trying to get money together for Season 2, so support them any way you can!
You know what really annoys me? Plastic packaging. You know the sort, all sealed in its little plastic bubble, looks great in the shop because you can see all the contents, but then you need an industrial pair of scissors to get the frickin thing open. Even if you have a pair of scissors, it’s very easy to do yourself harm with these weirdly shaped packages.
