Autism
People with high-functioning autism face stigma and judgement, often because their disability is "invisible"-showing no outward signs.

Down Syndrome
A genetic disorder causes Down syndrome and the Canadians we meet in this episode give us a heart-warming and candid view into the lives of people with Down syndrome.
