I have an adult daughter with Autism and Intellectual Disabilites. My daughter also has a huge heart, is a good worker and friend and has a lot of courage for living through life where others often look down on you for being different. I recently was forwarded a picture on Facebook of a person with intellectual disabilities crossing the finish line in a race with the heading ” arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics if you win/finish you are still retarded” I felt sick to my stomach. I marked the picture as offense in Facebook. I searched for this phrase and found thousands of entries. This is incredibly ignorant and unacceptable. Thank you for your sight.

I work with a Sunday School class for the Mentally Challenged. I’m more than sure they will all want to help spread the word to end the r-word and purchase some of the pretty t-shirts on this site!

I just want patrick to have a good 2 years in high school with out getting made fun of. I want to cry when i see people talking about him in secret in a bad way. I am in partners club at my school and we are going to try to get the R word baned from our halls and our school.
