Know More About Aelinor’s Disability, Developmental Dyspraxia: Down for Love Update!
All of the contestants from Down for Love have some kind of syndrome. Talking about Aelinor‘s disability, she is diagnosed with Developmental Dyspraxia aka Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). It is a neurological disorder that affects coordination and motor skills.

It makes it harder to plan and carry out actions, which makes writing and other everyday tasks challenging. It has nothing to do with IQ but is instead a particular problem with motor coordination.
Before discussing it further, we would like to clarify that Development Dyspraxia is not a type of Down Syndrome. It is different from Down Syndrome. However, most people are not aware of it.
This disability is brought on by difficulties in the brain’s capacity to efficiently connect with the body’s muscles, not by muscle weakness or a lack of motivation. It frequently first appears in childhood and might last until maturity.
In addition to having trouble with speech coordination, dyspraxia patients may also have trouble with rhythm and spatial awareness. Intelligence is unaffected by these difficulties, and early intervention, in combination with focused therapy and support, can considerably increase a person’s capacity to perform everyday tasks and realize their potential.
While the Netflix show does reveal that Aelinor is diagnosed with Developmental Dyspraxia, it does not discuss further details about her disability, including how she got it or at what age her family about it. Not to worry, we will surely get back to you as soon as we get any updates.

It appears that the production firm was still seeking candidates for the second season in January 2023 because, at that time, they posted details of a new casting call on their Instagram page.
As of August 2023, it is uncertain if Down for Love season 2 has begun filming, although our best bet is that it has. Furthermore, we have no idea how the second season will be made available. There is a very good chance that it will air on TVNZ before going on Netflix.
With regard to the first season, this is what transpired. Hopefully, the second season will be available on Netflix in 2024. However, we’ll just have to wait and see.
In Down for Love season 2, we can’t wait to meet a number of fresh people looking for love. Additionally, we’re crossing our fingers that the impending second season will provide us with an update on the romantic relationships of the group from the first season.
