If you think that mentally challenged people dont understand when someone is mocking them, or that its okay to mock someone just because they dont understand it, then you are the problem.
Not mocking them, honestly. But comparing them with someone else when that someone else behaves or thinks in a diminished capacity. And maybe that isn’t very nice, but it is objective. That someone else can obviously comport themselves better and apply a little more brain power, to avail themselves of the very advantages they have. When you compare an adult someone’s behavior or thinking to a child, are you offending the child?
