[Anonymous-Female]

I have a mentally retarded brother, and he is far more sensitive to people’s emotions and attitudes than most ‘normal’ people I know. He definitely knows when someone doesn’t like him; he responds to people just like anyone else would. He just responds differently. He isn’t capable of speaking up for himself and ‘poking fun’ right back at his attacker. He gets angry and hurt just like anyone else. Retarded people aren’t stupid, you know. Also, why didn’t you say ‘Making fun’ instead of ‘poking fun’? That’s what it is. Is it only ‘poking fun’ because they’re retarded? Making fun of retarded people is a horrible thing to do. They can’t help the way they are, any more than you can help the color of your eyes or skin. And while I’m at it, to people who say ‘that’s retarded’ or ‘you’re retarded’ – cut it out. You’re ignorant.
