You'd be surprised. A person I know has a brother with (not sure if it's down syndrome) special needs who, when in front of the computer, is a completely different person. Many slow kids can figure computers out because computers are user-dependent.

But wouldn't the keyboard short out after awhile?

idiot.

they have drool proof keyboards!

Oh yeah....I forogt about those.


To everyone else...SEE SIG. *facepalm*

I am torn between hoping that you have not procreated yet...and hoping that you do and karma catches up to you

I have no bad karma to catch up with me, so I have no worries.


mmhmmmm

What would you know anyway? You're just some dude on the internet that takes things way too seriously.

No...I just don't think mentally handicapped kids are fun to joke about. Now we were picking on truly retarded people like you...that's my kind of fun!

It's not my fault if you cannot find humor in life.

Nope, it's something that every person talking about something controversial struggles with. He's just accurately portraying his personal dilemma and it makes for a good read.

Humans, you might have heard of them ?

They have these funny things known as feelings.. they feel compassion, empathy, they also
occasionally feel gratitude for being born normal and whole.

3 cheers for HeliOS and a nice paypal donation to him!

Down's is pretty ambiguous dx. There are kids with high functioning downs syndrom that can get access technology just fine.

I could be reading too much into this, but I'm wondering if he's giving out the name in the last line of the blog. "Alrighty then!" is Ace Ventura's signature expression. Ventura is 7 letters. Coincidence?
