There are people w/ disabilities, including mental disabilities, autism, schizophrenia, and other related disabilities / disorders. Let me tell you something about autistic human beings. Low functioning autistics have no language skills and cannot survive independently by themselvles. High functioning autistics are often successful, highly intelligent (according to their schools), and even talented, but they can have issues in life: they can be unemotional, frequently say inappropriate things, they can be literal-minded, they can get fixated on minor detail, they can get agitated when their routine gets altered and they can be extremely uncooperative when anything or anyone gets in the way of them doing what they want. They can even be highly sensitive, and have difficulty relating to other people / human emotions. If you have a loved one who is a special needs person, tell me what you know about that friend / loved one (brother, son, cousin, uncle, etc.).
