      When dealing with any type of mental disease involving motor functions, or with someone's perception of reality you are always going to be face with challenges! We are faced with obstacles everyday of our lives but people who have a mental handicap are face with even more complications. Each person has their own handicap unfortunately we cannot decide how we are born or how our children are when they enter into this world. No matter what though you are going to love them and support goes a long way just because they aren't fully functional doesn't mean they aren't there! I learned a lot from my friend Oscar when I was little. He is a good guy and he reminds me of a kid and how it was to be innocent almost oblivious to what is happening sometimes. No matter what though he always has a smile and a positive attitude which is more than I can say for most people!
