Mrs. Shriver said that the Special Olympics proved a very important fact: that exceptional children with mental retardation can be exceptional athletes.
The retardation is much more common, and what this means is that sort of everything about the person's movement is slowed down. They'll walk more slowly.
They understand this process well enough to intervene, to test newborns, for example, and treat them for a genetic condition that used to lead to mental retardation.
The problem was that when oxygen was limited to many of these premature infants, their brain didn't get enough oxygen to develop. Many of them developed retardation.
In this case, autistics have the same but more severe symptoms, along with certain other developmental disorders, a very low IQ, loss of cognition, speech, antisocial behaviors and mental retardation in extreme cases.
And all of this-- all of this is not to make light of death as punishment, of people with mental retardation, of people who are mentally ill, or of chickens.
A review entitled " Progress in the study of the effects of growth hormone on children with type 1 diabetes combined with growth retardation" is also in the process of being accepted for editing.
