why should you have to look past their disability why not just accept it mentally challenged people are interesting and nice unlike boring everyday people im attracted to them because they are so nonjudgmental like jesus or god

I'm a support worker in a residential in Australia. I get asked the "How do you relate?"question, too. I tell people I'm the same as the guys: I look to like and be liked by others, just like they do. I expect strangers to treat me with courtesy and goodwill, just like they do. And when we're out in public and people stare, I look to the guys to see how to behave and emulate them.

When I was 10 I was given the great privilege of working with Downs' syndrome children. They were all about 5. All I can say is that they were angelic. I mean that in a literal sense. Spiritually they were uplifting to be around. They were beacons of light. I don't know a better way to express it. I shall never forget those hours and I am now 53 years old.

Well ...not to be literal on you or anything, but...I'M NOT THERE! I wasn't there! And they're far away from where I live! So THEY CAN'T HEAR US!
