She's great. She's in three of the four seasons I've watched. A major character in the first and third season and a minor in the fourth. She plays a 30 year old daughter of Jessica Lang in the first season "Murder House" and Jessica Lang is horrible to her. In the third one, "Coven" she plays a teenage girl in a private school for witches, and she's a witch. In the last one "Freak Show" she plays a ventroliquists dummy sort of, the ventroliquist sees the dummy as alive and she plays the alive version.

I haven't googled her name yet or anything, but she's the first Down SYndrome actor I've noticed a lot playing a lot of roles and having a more complicated character since the guy on that one show with Chad Lowe on it back in the 80s, Life Goes On, or something like that.

Check out the show, it's great. It's weird and each season is it's own story in itself and the actors play completely different people in completely different times and places and story lines in each season. It's on Netflix.

There was a show, "Life Goes On" with a prominent Down Syndrome person whose character's name was Corky.

He was in mainstream high school, and later on had a girlfriend, also with Down's, who had a drivers' license. They were thinking about getting married.
