Being Real With People Who Have Developmental Disabilities

I say this because of how I responded to my friend who is blind. Take notice that I said “my friend who is blind, not my blind friend.” This is called People First Language. We’ll save that for another time. Even though I didn’t want to tell my friend how “scary” he did look, I told him that yes, I can understand why the kids were scared. Your face is rather disfigured. Surprisingly, his response was, “I’ll have to do it again this year for Halloween.”
