ok i know im going to marked as spam I doubt that all of those people knew half of the words spoken in this film. Both of my parents worked at a home for these people and loved it. i dont doubt thire abality to learn for a second. all i am saying is i believe that this film is scrpited and these people tought these words without definition.i believe this movie is scripted. But i am sure that there are handicapped people out there smarter than those who are going to criticize me. thanks

This video of personal testimony gives direction on how people with disabilities would like to be treated. Often people don't know what to say or how to help, so they either do nothing, or they end up offending people they want to help. The rule of thumb should be to ask, "would you like some help and if so, how can I help." Just doing this may change perspectives, and create a climate of respect which is no different than what anyone deserves. Jill Gonzalez-Madison, Wisconsin

mongolefty- This lot is not expressing their thoughts and emotions, nor those "thousands" of whom they supposedly represent. They are being fed lines by normals. If they are so "precious," why don't you have a handful of them living with you?

I want to suggest to those looking at this video to watch "In my language", which a woman shows us about 3 or so minutes of stimming. She then gives us a 'translation' using computer technology to give her a voice. It's impossible to deny her extremely high level of intelligence. However, many people would view her stimming and judge her as a low- functioning, and perhaps as some said, unhappy. It is not our jobs as humans to judge the right of someone to live, no matter who they are.
