I'm sorry, but stuff like this, makes me embarrassed to even admit that I'm an American.

I'm all for treating people with disabilities as normal as possible...but this is not!
This can't be classified as anything other than ignorance and exploitation.
Some authority needs to step in and stop this from happening.

I won't knock it yet, it seems they will be taking extra precautions including padding. It says they're into martial arts so they will be used to sparring against other people.

Is that how the fight is being advertised DS vs CP ?  If so than do have  a problem with that.

As for the two people fighting its up to them, as long as they are of age and have been into martial arts, they have a right to a fight just like any
"able" bodied person also as long as they are medically cleared (many with downs syndrome have heart defects)

Autism would kick the crap out of both DS or CP.
