I liked that she was allowed to be a weird, obnoxious kid instead of the Mentally Handicapped Saint figure. I find that to be a really pernicious trope in the first place.

IA. Her character was, in many ways, obnoxious and unlikeable. Most characters in this series were multi faceted like this, pretty sure it was a deliberate decision and one I applaud.

Yes, I don't think the character was meant to be all that likeable. None of them were, really.

I haven't seen this movie so I can't agree with any authority, but if that's the case I have secondhand approval myself. I like that more and more media is starting to reject what I call Tiny Tim Syndrome.

I'm not impressed given that it's just the way Ryan Murphy portrays any "underdog" figure to show how amazing they are for not, I don't know, spending all their time crying about their lot in life. It's pretty stupid.

Ryan Murphey really has a thing for making female characters with Down Syndrome (don't recall any DS guys) really unlikeable, rude, and obnoxious. Then again he generally seems to have issues developing likable characters anyway. Either way I call BS on his character writing.

I had a classmate with down's syndrome. she was a fucking weird obnoxious brat. I don't think all people her age with down's syndrome are that way, but having a disorder that makes you talk louder, be generally more expressive (not least because you need to, because otherwise people wouldn't understand you), and tend to not get the idea of subtlety pretty much will make you an obnoxious brat in everybody's eyes at that age. I think it's fairly realistic.
