Olivia Wilde plays a girl with down syndrome in a controversial PSA for World Down Syndrome Day. Well, she doesn’t exactly play a girl with down syndrome. She plays how a girl with down syndrome sees herself.

Some say it’s good for people with down syndrome, others say it’s discriminatory to people with disabilities.
This video nails it. No matter what, everyone should be able to live beautiful, meaningful lives. https://t.co/gOCrur1FWQ #Howdoyouseeme

Just saw the #HowDoYouSeeMe ad feat. Olivia Wilde. We know how well "I don't see race" worked out, let's not do "I don't see disability."

does @oliviawilde realize #HowDoYouSeeMe is ableist and harmful to people esp. women w/ disabilities?

I’m not sure about any of that. All I know is someone needs to knock this bitch’s ego down a couple of pegs. Oh, you think you look like one of the hottest women on the planet? Well la-dee-da, your majesty.
