“I wish they would stop making fun of and looking down on people with disabilities. I also wish they would stop treating people with disabilities like children. Often time, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are treated like children. They’re not - they’re adults.”
"People have thought that I would never be anything or do anything, that I don’t know what’s going on in the world. Having an intellectual disability does not mean you’re dumb. They work harder than most just to do things others take for granted. They may need help with certain things, but don’t we all?"
