Netflix brings a brand new series to screens on August 11. Down For Love follows the journeys of people living with Down Syndrome as they embark on the world of dating. The cast members hail from New Zealand, although some of the cast members have traveled all over the globe. Let’s find out more about Aelinor Holloway from Down For Love including what her disability is.

Aelinor and her date appear to fall head over heels as he woos her with poetry and they find they have a lot in common.
Aelinor from Down For Love’s disability
Down For Love star Aelinor has Developmental Dyspraxia.
Her mother, Francesca, explains during episode 2 of the show: “It means that she can’t do some of the things that someone her age might do like driving, riding a bike.”
Aeloinor’s mom adds that the star has had her “ups and downs” as some of the people she’s dated haven’t “understood the impact of her disability.”
Where is Aelinor from?
During episode 2, Aelinor explains to her date that she has visited Paris and Italy.
However, the history enthusiast hails from Auckland, New Zealand.
Her date, Carlos Antonio Biggemann, was born in Bolivia and lived in La Paz until he was 10 years old.
Carlos speaks multiple languages and has received many awards, but really wants to experience love.
He lives in Dunedin which is located on the South Island of New Zealand.
