Some do, some don't. It all depends on the mental illness, the severity of the mental illness, the individual themselves, the treatment they have gone through, etc.

Generally not, answers Rolf. Instead, said retards proclaim that they are the normal ones and it is the clear-thinking and saner majority that are in fact, retarded, adds Rolf.

Star Wars Fan, we need your input here.

Additionally, Aircow can feel free to chime in at any time.

Hell, even Zok could throw in his $0.02.

Nah they're always told how special they are.

Shit, my old high school put every actual retard on the high honor roll every quarter simply because they were just so special.

Yeah, in my high school the "special" education students always passed with no real effort on their part, despite not having a case of full-on retard. I wish I could be that special too. Life would be so much easier. I could have people cook for me, have the government pay out of its ass just because I was born and last but not least: have hot nurses scrape off the dried-up shit on my asshole. :drool:

[Mantikore]

I know at least some do.

I was on the bus at one time and mentioned in passing that my boss' son is retarded. The guy in front of me was a downie and he overheard and glared at me

[Sir Cornwell]

They come here.

They see that they have previous posts.

Then they know, "Oh, duh. I'm just another 'tard. A zoktard."

There was a kid at my school with SEVERE, I mean SEVERE autism.

He was always humming and moaning to himself. Sometimes, he would screech and laugh. His face was scrunched up, his eyes were close constantly and he looked like....well, a straight up retard.

He was completely non-verbal. Could hardly say a single word. I've often wondered what goes on in his head. What is life like, to him? What does he experience?

Bizarre.

Niggas need to speed up them eugenics.
