Natalie Cassidy's Real Britain
2 Answers
Has anyone been watching Natalie Cassidy's Real Britain?
I watched Thursday's episode, which spoke to two people about how sex and relationships feature in their lives. One of the people was a young man called Otto, who has Downs Syndrome. He was a lively guy, who enjoyed clubbing and drinking with his friends, all of whom had no learning disabilities and at 21, he wanted to find a girlfriend, primarily for sex it seemed.
Whilst I understood his need for a proper adult relationship, there was something disturbing about it all. His mother seemed to be in denial of his condition and felt he could have a relationship with a woman without learning difficulties.
I also felt Otto's prime objective was not to get to know a woman, but he just wanted sex. It appeared he also had an obsession with pornography and his mother hadn't really explained the entire point of a relationship.
Did anyone else think both Otto and his mother's expectations were unrealistic?

Anyway on another note I had two neighbours who were both special needs - wife gave birth to two sons and they were very special needs. So I dont think that is right. But that is my opinion.
