**Mental Retardation**? |
I know someone with Mental Retardation is their a way to get rid of it if she's only 15? soon to be 16. In general, no, but there always are exceptions. Mental retardation is defined in the DSM-IV-TR as an IQ below 70 and a certain degree of dysfunction. It is possible through intensive education and skills training that someone with an IQ in the 60's could function well enough to not be considered mentally retarded anymore, even though they were as a child. I like what Forrest Gump's mom said, "stupid is as stupid does." Of course, that was a movie. People are people. Some have brain differences. Love your friend just as she is. No.they are born with it? i heard slamming your own head into a wall and wishing the person was normal works Are you sure it isn't you that is retarded because that is a pretty dumb question Hi: I beg your pardon, the correct term is "developementally disabled" no people are born with mental retardation it's not something you can get rid of but there are different degrees of severity such as mild, moderate and sever and people with mild and moderate MR tend to function closely to what society calls "normal" Lots of times we are around people that have been diagnosed with MR and don't even know it, it is none thing to be ashamed of tell your friend shes great just the way she is and you two go have some fun It is not a disease they will allways be MRDD Y'know, some of the sweetest, kindest, most non-judgemental people I've ever met just happened to be developmentally challenged. Although they have a handicap they are people with feelings. I wouldn't treat some one with a leg missing any differently and I certainly would not say "oh can they just get a leg?" You don't get rid of a part of some one whom you care about, you accept them exactly as they are. I'd suggest making freinds with her because you'd be amazed what you can learn from people, all people. |
