i am new to this forum and to the rep world. since i have joined i have read post after post and can tell this place has a community feel, one i would like to be apart of, and with building my own knowledge of reps, would like to contribute one day. it is fascinating that people from different socioeconomic back rounds could come together to share their passions with one another in this type of manner. i am a man that happens to work with children and adults with developmental disabilities and comments like those i really take to heart. you happen to be picking on a population that has an already hard time defending themselves. all we can do is try to educate ourselves and other as best as we can so we do not continue to further the ignorance of thinking.
i will say this, we are all disabled in some way, fact. it is not our disabilities but our ABILITIES, that make us unique and able to learn from one another. we all have a gift to share with others and by shutting out, what you may think is different, is really limiting yourself to growth. people are free to share their opinions and some might do so without thinking of others and this is common. lets not forget we are not the only people in the world and the world will not forget you! for the utmost respect to the people in this community that make it what it is, thank you for letting me be apart of this!
