Shauna Rae is coming back to TLC.
In atrailer for the new season, she says that she looks like an 8-year-old.
However, she’s actually 22, and she’s ready to take on the world.
This season will document new adventures and the resulting complications that arise as she heads out into the world.
How does it feel to get behind the wheel of a car?
But it was also really cool.
My nerves definitely get the best of me my first time actually driving.
Speaking about independence, it looks like another thing that happens is you do move out.
What has that experience been like for you so far?
The moving out experience, it’s been definitely an adjustment.
If you think about it, it was going to be an adjustment for me no matter what.
I’ve never lived without my family or my parents.
Even if it was a summer, I spent it at my sister’s or something.
So there’s always been someone there for me, a very close safety net.
For this move-out, that’s not an option all the time.
What’s it like going on a date with a camera crew in tow?
They’re absolutely amazing.
They are a bunch of guys, and they’re all like my father.
Does it get easier the more you do it?
Did you mention that you’re working with a matchmaker?
But after that date, we decided that the matchmaking wasn’t the best fit for me.
Are there any ways that this 2nd season differs from the 1st?
A lot [of] that was lacking in Season 1.
So I think people are going to get to know us better personally [across] all spectrums.
People are going to understand that I’m more than my disability.
It’s great to get to show that much of yourself.
Are you interested in doing a 3rd season of the show?
[It] depends on if it would be the right fit.
Is that what inspired you to pitch the idea for the show in the first place?
We wanted to highlight a positive journey.
I never did as a child, and I’ve always wanted that.
So if I can’t have it, then why not make a run at be it?
Shauna Rae is thinking about heading to college
It looks like you’re considering going to college.
What would you like to study, given the chance?
When it comes to college and education, I am very split.
I am interested in so many things.
I could always do both, but I haven’t decided which one to tackle first.
Is there a dream school that you would want to go to?
There’s a couple.
I would love to do any form of college, though.
The show touches on it, [but] I don’t think it’s a big focal point.
I would love to see those develop.
That’s a huge part of who I am.
If people want to understand me to the fullest capability, you have to understand where I came from.
What else are you watching on TLC?
Growing up, I watched “Say Yes to the Dress.”
My sister Kira was a huge fan of Randy.
Even though it’s not the same circumstance, it is very similar.
I watched every show, but at the same time, not every show.
Season 2 of “I Am Shauna Rae” premieres on TLC on November 1 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
This interview has been edited for clarity.
