I had a girl in my class, never really knew exactly what was wrong, but she was disabled, mainly mentally but some physical disabilities as well. She sorta walked around like a toddler, if you didn't hold her hand she'd start to run and fall. She stood bent over. She could make noises but couldn't speak words. She was with us from kindergarten until we graduated.
That is not a life. She didn't get to do any of the things kids do. She wore diapers and I'm sure she still does.
This will sound bad, but I don't think the taxpayers should have to be paying for this stuff. It took two full time paras to be with her at all times. And for what? She's no different today, at 32 years old, than she was at 6. It's horrible, but it's the nature of the reality. A lot of time, effort, and money went into her, but we can't even know if she knows what's going on.
