Autism
People with high-functioning autism face stigma and judgement, often because their disability is "invisible"-showing no outward signs.
Limb Differences
Through accident, illness or genetics, people with limb differences learn to adapt and be resilient. Because their disability is so visible, they receive a lot of attention.

Little People are a highly visible group who face a great deal of social stigma and curiosity. In this episode, they explain what it's like to live in a world that sees them as "disabled".
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.
