Mentally disabled people are often very aware that others are making fun of them. And just like anyone else, it hurts. Unless you were so severely disabled that you could not relate to others (and would therefore not be out in public or attending even private affairs), you’d be quite aware that others think of you as ‘damaged,’ and many, many mentally disabled people suffer devastating damage to their self-esteem. If people had any idea of what life is like for the mentally disabled, they would behave with far more respect and compassion than they do. When I witness a person ‘making fun’ of the mentally disabled, it is clear in my mind who has the true mental disability.
