I've done a lot of community service in my time, and I have attended several Special Olympics, etc etc...
The question is Are you uncomfortable around retarded people? Every time I do special olympics or some other type of project in which I have to work with retarded people I feel really uncomfortable around them. And it makes me feel guilty. How do the rest of you feel about mentally retarded people? |

QUOTE(xSWEETxCANDiix @ Jan 18 2005, 7:13 PM) I say retarded because I mean retarded. Mentally Challenged can mean anything from Dyslexia to Autism. I'm not uncomfortable around dyslexic or autistic people. I am uncomfortable around mentally retarded people. Mostly because they are too affectionate, and I hate being touched. |
