Summary: Powerful Words
Review: I had to read this book for a cultural foundations class at Auburn University. This was an amazingly powerful story written in first person. To understand the meaning of social retardation, read these life stories. they put an interesting and sad perspective on the manner in which they are dehumanized for being who they are. I would recommend this book for anyone who is ging to be teaching or around these wonderful individuals.
