What do you do if people use the r word around your son with down syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not worth your time: The people that matter in the life of your child are sensitive to both your feelings and that of your child. Your attention should focus of the givers in life not the gawkers. This term is a bit archaic & commonplace in the vocabulary of those over 50.
