yeah, it was just starting to kind of come around when i went to school. we had one mainstreamed kid with significant special needs, and most everyone loved him. not to the point of making him homecoming king, but we all looked out for him and once you knew his name you were his friend. Every once in a while (like today) I wonder what happened to him.
Should look him up OP or is one of those situation where it’s better not knowing ?
I grew up in an era where special needs kids were bullied and assaulted daily. I got punished by the principal for defending myself.
