I understand Steven's feelings about dating women with disabilities. It's because he doesn't have 100% Down Syndrome, he has the Mosaic type. From the beginning of the series, I can immediately see that he's at a different level of functioning than the rest of the group. I don't think he feels he fit in either the DS or non-DS group. He squirming trying not to hurt anyone feelings.

a person can be attracted to whomever they wish. you can't pressure someone to seek a CERTAIN partner. Let this guy be attracted to who ever he wants!

Steven is Mosaic. He's not as intellectually disabled as some of the others. They are all smart...don't get me wrong. He's just a little further along intellectually.

"Is this some type of therapy session!" SAVAGE 😂😂😂

Steven is actually intelligent he is defending his views it hurt me when he said his disability is a curse 😭

Stevens was really nice about it tbh. He's really smart and humble. He wasn't trying to insult anyone

Stephen is obviously low on the downs spectrum, I think he is a wonderful boy, I hope he finds his true love.

I absolutely get what Steven's saying. I have Cerebral Palsy, and I often feel that when I'm around other people in my community I have trouble relating to them because I'm on a bit of a higher intellectual level than some of the people I meet. Not that I have anything against those who are in a different place than me, but I find it easier to talk to people who aren't a part of my community simply because our conversations tend to be on a more even playing field.

I'm the mom of a son with DS. I know my son will never marry as his delay is significant. But if my son were more like Steven, I would say it's not Christina's business if he wants to date typically-developing girls, any more than it would be if he preferred blondes to brunettes. He is not being a traitor to the special needs community by wanting to date outside it.

I think Steven sees himself differently from the others because his type of Downs means he doesn't have as many learning difficulties as the rest of the group and his level of function is higher. It's not fair to make him feel bad for it.

I dont understand why Christina is being so confrontational to Steve when she has her own man.....Its none of her business what type of women Steve likes.....I love Steve he's adorable and I hope he finds love one day.

I love how Shawn NEVER has any idea what is going on. I love his adorable clueless blank stare. Hahaha

Such an amazing display of compassion. Knowing when someone else is hurting is such an amazing quality to have.

Christina better mind her business on who Steven wants to date. His choice.

You can't help who you are attracted to, Poor Steven I hope he finds someone he loves and loves him for who he is.

2:00 aww sean lol saying that's not nice to say buts hes smiling gosh I love him..i love all of these koolkats

Why do people feel that because you have a certain disability that you have to make friends with people just because they may have a certain disability ? That makes no sense. If an individual with wants make friends or go out with someone without a disability, they have every right to. Point break.

I love that Christina helps her friends abd Stephen is a sweetheart

This brings me to tears. The stigma behind those with disabilities is felt within the community. I have seen this in person myself working with this population. They dont want to feel different. Some have even shunned those who have a disability like them to those who are typical. I understand his sentiments. Its the way society has taught him about himself.

I have cried watching this show, it's so touching and inspiring. I watch every Tuesday. I love the whole cast!!! Superb people.

I think Steven is a great guy I think he is amazing he knows what he wants like any other guy.

I love each one. I have a learning disability so I do feel different from anybody else I love this show it gives me more confidence thank you all

this is one of my favorite shows . I have a grandson who is slow , he doesn't have DS but he was born with water on the brain . He was married divorced and he has his own home and is raising his 10 year old son by himself, He is a great kid. I always told him don't limit your self do what you can do to the best of your ability and you will be amazed at what you can do.

I love the show and this show should stay on A&E I love the cast .

It’s just his preference and they should understand that he shouldn’t have to date anyone he’s not attracted to in order to avoid hurting their feelings.

i am absolutely addicted to this show it warms my heart if everybody was like these angels the world would be a wonderful place love all the characters hard to say which one is my fav. 😁😀😊😌😄

I love how mature they handle problems unlike normal people who gossip behind people’s back

I absolutely love watching this program it was so touching to me. lesson learned from watching the program is don't judge people by their appearance

There intellect in this conversation and thought process and respect and just BEAUTIFUL. They just have different facial features which is PERFECT who wants to look the same variety is key. Love them😍💪😍

Steven is adorable! 💜

I am like Stephen in some ways but the only two differences are I am older & I am married to a normal lady btw I am a 41yr old man that has Downs Syndrome my wife & I live in our own place with our family's near by in case we need help but other then that we are very responsible ppl & both of us work. I love the show & Stephen is my favorite one on the show cuz he reminds me of me when I was younger & single.

When Cristina said "do you want a snack?" Did steven say "i dont like you, im good."

Leave him alone, he can date who he wants. Rude

I feel for him. He’s trying really hard to try an explain why he feels the way he does. He was born the way he is, he didn’t choose that. But that doesn’t mean he “needs” to date someone like him, or with DS. It’s kinda like I was born Hispanic, but it doesn’t mean I’m bound to only date Hispanic men, I have different choices, it’s the only way I can explain it. I know he has a disability, but it’s the same as someone’s race. You can’t choose how you were born, who you are when you are born. Hope that makes does sense haha. I wish them all a great, happy, blessed life💜

This dude shot her down instantly "what's your type"? "SMART Girls"

I'm proud of him for knowing who he is and speaking up! 💗

I love that totally blank look on Sean's face the entire time. Hahahaha. He literally has no idea what is going on.

Please bring this show back I absolutely loved it

Christina is so sweet she's the kind of person i wish i had as a friend

this is a awesome show

This was a good show. I learned alot from this show

He was doing ok when he was dating Megan. I had high hopes for the couple and wanted to see them together, he just gave up when she wasn’t interested in his movie collection. She wanted a little romance and he wasn’t ready for that just yet.

Great show,I love the cast.

These special people seem so be so preoccupied with being in a relationship.

I dont think she is judgemental at all. She is communicating her feelings the best way she can

downs is not your identity...god wants everyone to be healthy and he heals

I like your new show keep Rick and God bless make me smile 😊

It’s sad that people have to go through this and not be comfortable around others.

Why is that guy being questioned about who's he's attracted to?? Literally trying to make him 'stay in his lane' when in fact he wants the whole road!! Leave him alone!!

I really enjoy this show.

i love this show

People can be with whoever they want. Wtf? Really?

I love them all Steven is a 1in a million kind of sweet heart ❤🤗

It’s hard to have a conversation with people like Cristina and Sean. They are extremely unaware of the way the world works and don’t understand Steven is more aware of things and is trying to be tactful.

I wish the show born this way would come back on tv

best scene steven is my favourite

I would have said it’s not an insult if he likes or is wanting to look out for something outside of a particular discipline to Christina. And to Steven I would have tried to tell him for his own reasons, to not limit or cut any options by cutting out anyone with a disability.

Everyone has a type of person that they go for this young man has a mosaic form of DS and maybe wants to be with someone that can balance him out I don't think he would be opposed to dating a woman with DS if the right girl comes along he may change his mind.

They're actually smart ppl...

from 1.00 onwards... can anyone share the music title and thanks for this vid..

So glad on tv show

Steven is like the rest of us. He knows what he wants in a mate, that's all. He shouldn't be pressured into finding what they think he should have. He is smart and good looking. There is no reason he shouldn't find his true love.

I understand. He didn’t want to feel limited with Down syndrome only being with Down syndrome because they both have Down syndrome, though it may be hard to find someone who is open to it. Steven is a bit different from the rest in the case of communication skills. It’s a bit more developed verbally wise which causes more dialogue & he wants someone to talk to. Interact in his way.

Go for whom ever you want.

Oh ...i feel u ... even normal people without down sydrom feel what u feel . All is will be well dear.

Steven smarter than all of them

Steve is cute and he talks clear and I can understand him

GOD bless all of them

I really understand he wants to date high-functioning people I have a disability but I'm high functioning but I date normal guys and I feel normal when I'm around them

I think Cristina likes Steven. It's like she saying to him, hey why not me? Angel might have some serious competition to contend with here.

This device isn't doing sound it's finicky after it got a little bit wet if somebody could put up subtitles

Steven is a wonderful guy I would date him. who's normal anyway? people without disability are some of the most crazy people.

Hi Steven my daughter is 26 she has Goldenhar and she is deaf just can't stop viewing this video my hart was touched at your being polite but truthful about your feelings really touched me. Hey i feel moved to give you some wonderful news about the condition you feel you are in my daughter felt that way but the good news is about Gods Kingdom ruling soon and under that rulership with his son Jesus who performed many many miracles so we who are living today could have hope that all of our conditions are fixable God wants to and God will fix what is hurting you on the inside and on the outside so no worries because soon we can live in a world where no one is sick or in pain Revelation 21:3,4 hope you enjoy that no suffering my daughter I can't wait until Gods Kingdom starts to transform the earth into a paradise and she will no longer be hurting emotional or physically Gods Kingdom we pray for it in the lords prayer that his will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN Matthew 6:9 HEAVEN is a wonderful peaceful place but GODS will for the earth will the a PARADISE EARTH STEVEN no more hope its ok to say this no more down syndrome no more blindness no more deafness the former things with have passed away! I hope you and your family and the cast will find this message as it is a wonderful message Psalms 37:10,11,&29 so I hope you get this comment and I hope Ill get to meet you guys in Gods New World in PARADISE YOU AND ME AND MY DAUGHTER WILL BE PERFECT SAME AS ADAM AND EVE WERE AND LIVING IN A PARADISE HERE ON THE EARTH!

I have Down syndrome and my name is Nicholas Altieri and I can actually relate with what Steven is trying to say I feel the same exact way about being able to be with someone that is typical and not focusing on girls with a disability. Growing up I’ve always viewed myself with a girlfriend that’s on the same level as me and even without a disability that’s basically on how I’ve been raised. I want to experience what it’s like to be in a relationship with someone that doesn’t have a disability than with someone who has a disability that’s how I normally see in myself.

Who cares?! Let him have his preference! Geez.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my favorite show

you go girl.

They are adorable

She is so pretty!

I can't believe the way Steven treats his girlfriend she made the show and got together with him it's like he used her just so he can be on t.v. and that's sad she's a beautiful lady and she deserves someone better and that will treat her like a queen and he's out there

You have a right to a preference

Steven is so cute

thank you and does she have a email

Yes I fell the sam way that he does

Goofy pullin Luis Luciano Scott brown

I'm handicap and small and I'm married to a normal guy he love me for who I am

I do not have down syndrome but I ussually watch the first 48 on A&E but i kept seeing the commercials about Born This Way and decided to watch out of curiosity.. I learned that these sre amazing humans.. The show focuses on these cats down syndrome disability but in all reality they seem like the coolest folks.. Im not the type of person who likes watching those reality shows like Teen Mom, and im not even gonna mention Kim Kardashian.. Nobody wants to watch that negative BS and drama.. Born this way is drama free and its great to see those guys live and enjoy life despite what they are going through.. I will continue to watch.

tears...

My heart hurts man. I feel for him and she seems hurt too. He is a lil lost but for him to recognize what he is and wanting to change is messing me up. How do you tell someone like that that he can't change whi he is by being with someone different from him and his friends. He can change by being happy with his self ig. But its ok for him to go for what he wants too.

Stephen is cute

Steven's revelation was that suppose cofenfine and dating a everyone more thing about him himself to understanding to have comment what a dating is about that to redacting that information to have a great life he's was having that excitained to how he's skilled is dating

he is handsome

Everybody has their rights to date anyone whether they have disability or without disability. I have autism and I would date someone who has autism or not.

I feel sad he feels his disability is a curse I can relate but it's not

I think Steven is a good looking young man I hope he will meet the right girl for him in the future. 😊😊😊😊

I like him

this is like listening to children... He can date anyone she wants

Steven should be able to dare anyone he wants diabled or not!! Who cares!

In my opinion, I understand Steven 100 % but Honestly Stevens too intellectually coherent for "disabled people" but not "typical" enough for a "typical person" which is not a good place to be... But I do hope he finds a good girl.

I have a disability and I have a boyfriend and he doesn’t have a disability and we live together I just have a learning disability my boyfriend doesn’t have one and he loves me just the way that I am I’ve been living with my adopted parents as that still want to have my rights and I’m going to court on Tuesday and these people told me that I wasn’t mature or independent look at me now And I will be going to a cooking school this Monday and Wednesday and I’m going to a technology center to get a real GED I graduated from high school but what they gave me when I was done was a certificate it wasn’t a real diploma and I’m trying my best not trying to prove myself that I can do anything that a person that doesn’t have a disability what do you guys think
