To the Lady Who Wrote This Hateful Letter,
I think you may be a seriously deranged person. Please hie thee to a psych ward. Your description of a normal residential neighborhood makes me cringe. You can abide the sound of barking dogs but not a non-verbal kid’s sounds? Did you ever think they may be sounds of joy? I saw a clip of the kid on a news video. He was happily flapping away and jumping up and down. He has no idea that there is so much hate in the world. He may know when people don’t like him. He knows what makes him happy but trust me, he isn’t trying to scare your kids. This is your opportunity as a parent to educate them to be tolerant of difference. But I guess you missed out on that parenting strategy.
This kid and the kids like him don’t scream to annoy you. They scream to communicate. Trust me, my non-verbal son has several high pitched screams. One usually means he’s in pain, the other means he wants us to change the tv channel. And there are times when he’s been screaming for hours and I just want him to shut the “f” up. I understand that it can be annoying but here’s the thing: he’s a human being. I know you’re one too but you are a sad representation of what is “normal”. I’d rather hang out with my son or that kid who annoys you so much.
And just what do you mean when you say that “you should take his non-retarded body parts and donate them to science.” Are you a reincarnation of a Nazi? You are talking about someone’s child. You also talked about him never getting a job or being loved by a girl. All I can think, is What the What? Life is so much more than the little box that you live in. My son will never be married or hold a job but he will provide other people with jobs as they care for him. And many people love those with special needs. Before my son was born, I was a special education teacher and loved all my guys, even the ones who screamed.
I hope the police do find you and your neighbors know just what kind of human being you are. But if they don’t, at least you’ll know that your ignorant attitudes are no longer accepted in our world.
