I call BS on this person’s story. The average IQ of a Down syndrome adult is about 50, with a range of 20 to 75. My younger brother is mentally retarded, supposedly due to the Rh factor (mother AB-, father O+), and his IQ is 79. He was an anomaly at his “trainable mentally retarded” school because he was the only one who could read and write, although his skills were rudimentary. No way a DS person “wrote” this letter.

From the girl’s letter:

“P.S. My mom and her friend helped me write this.”

You are correct. This letter was composed by someone else. There is no way a DS person is able to compose much of anything that is coherant enough to become a complete sentence, let alone a letter like this.

My grandson is barely able to complete sentences coherently, and when asked what he said, he can't repeat, already forgotten. Their attention span is about 5 mins.

She don't know what 47% means.

This administration is dispicable and desperate.
