Elena is so sweet and insightful, prescient beyond her years...just a naturally sweet girl who wants her mom to be more understanding. Love this show.

I'm a case manager for adults with developmental disabilities. I think this show is a great concept. Maybe it will help people learn about DS and break some of the negative stereotypes and myths.

I sure missed this Show. I wished this Born this way show would come on TV. 😢 When I went to a Special school. I was in a class with all kinds of Special people. We treated everyone with respect. Then I got tired being there. I moved on to another school and Jr. High. High school then moved to one year of highschool.
All the show I liked are all gone. 😮
