The Specials

[click!]

I don't really get into web series, but I read about this one and had to give it a shot. It's a documentary about five housemates in Brighton, four of whom have Down's Syndrome and one who has William's Syndrome. They're Lewis, Hilly, Lucy, Sam and Megan, aged 19-23. Them all being able to live together seems like it's pretty much made possible by Hilly's parents, Carol & Dafydd. It's a bit like The Real World only far more interesting -- and yet still having some of the same qualities. Them just dealing with every day stuff, work, school, shopping, fun, mistakes, love, etc. Thought some of you might be interested in it. There's intros to all the housemates on the site and they also have subtitled versions of every episode -- which I found helpful -- and seemed to need a little less episode by episode.




Also! Unrelated, I wanted to thank whoever nommed me for my Jin/Michael fic beneath the blue, for the LFAs! That's always a nice surprise. Don't get nommed too often!

You're welcome! I really enjoyed watching all of the episodes and the other videos they have on the site. It's really kine of eye-opening and definitely a pleasure to watch. They look like they are always having fun. I don't know much about either disorder -- this is definitely an opportunity to learn.
