After the success of the Love on the Spectrum series about autism & dating, a new show called Down for Love has arrived on Netflix. It’s bout people with Down Syndrome looking for love. You can see the show here:

As with previous shows featuring people with learning disabilities on the dating scene, Down for Love runs into thorny questions about the trade-off between visibility and exploitation, informed consent, and who gets to decide. This article from The Guardian has some interesting thoughts on the genre.
