If the adult does have the mind of a child, is he or she responsible for adult things, legal and/or illegal? Like paying taxes, attending elementary school classes (adult as a child going to school as a child), paying a child's fare on a bus, plane and train, et., etc. so many things. Would he or she be allowed to date a child the same age that he or she has the mentality of? And get away with it? Ever wonder about things like this? I know such a person would have a different lifestyle altogether. I hope such a person will be treated with respect!

  1. Yes


  2. Yes, they would pay adult fares on bus, plane and train, and etc. If they work, they would have to pay the same taxes as a Non-PWD.

  3. the adult would have to pay taxes on income-

    just as children who work (actresses, etc) pay taxes

    they may be eligible for a discount for people with disabilities, but would otherwise pay adult fees.

    they woudl attend an age appropriarte class/work placement...

    they could NOT date a child--if they choose to date-it would probably be a 'peer' --an adult with a similar background as them

    they are treated differently in criminal circumsatnces--they need to be competant to stand trial--their abilities are taken into account to setermine in they are criminally responsible

  4. As long as they have the capacity to understand the law they have to abide by the same laws as everyone else.

    So if the person has an income they would pay tax. Even children who earn an income have to pay tax on it.

    I don't think there would be many elementary schools which would take an adult on in a normal elementary school class. Adults with a mental disability can do basic adult education courses to better themselves. For instance literacy, numeracy, etc.

    As they still have to abide by the law they would not be allowed to date a person who is the same as their cognitive age as that would generally be seen as (if there is s*x involved) statutory rape. Even without s*x most parents wouldn't allow it

    Also they are an adult so they would still have to pay adult fares for things.

  5. if the income is that much then definatly person have to pay tax , tax for country, it's devlopment.

    got it my friend.

    if disabiled person earning the money which is taxable then certainly it is proud to the country.
