I really hate the r word I wish it was banned. I have friends that have autism, and I have an aunt that does to. everybody calls me it in my school at BHS in bismarck, North Dakota. It hurts when someone says the dang word i just hate it when they say it. This is a very good website to talk and learn about it. I’ve seen so many people say the word in front of my friends that say the word I always confront the people Who say the r word. god bless everyone and there souls.

why doesn’t the Special Olympics or NDSC have a bigger figure like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson? I don’t get it? this has been going on for too long – they need to use their resources to do something. Thank you for allowing a place to express ourselves and for what you do. You are awesome!

As having a grandson with down syndrome people just don’t get it. I am in education and hear the word often not just the children but teachers as well. You would think adults would get it but unfortunaly people do not put themselves in others shoes. I have brought my children up to respect others. Maybe this is why God blessed us.

The word retard bothers me. it makes me upset. I’m a developmentally disabled person. I was institutionized when I was a boy (this is wen the word retard back then was used alot). then I was in special Education at school, then after I graduated I attended a Day treatment center, after that I worked in a sheltered workshop, and now I have a job on the outside, I have two of them, I work at a pizza parlor, and a supermarket. I can’t stand that “R” word, when someone mentions it to me, or calling me that word. I am involved in Special Olympics, which was Track and Field, cross-coutry skiing, and softball year ago, and bowling (which I’m still doing today)

Your site is a pathbreaker. I think you need to go beyond national and other barriers. collaborate with other organisations, network too. these are my own views and not that of the organisation where i work. I am from India
