A friend has a Down’s son who is very sweet but low functioning. The only time he even starts to get upset is when he has to go to the doctor. He never worries about anything. How is his life worse or less worthy than any other?
One of my kids has a genius IQ. He has a lot of concerns. One of my kids has special needs and a low normal IQ. He is pretty happy most of the time. I’ve learned a lot from kids with special needs about intelligence and its limitations.
