I understand you find it degrading in the sense that he has a better ability to understand the context of his situation than many give him credit for, and we shouldn't just hand things out to all special needs kids because they are special needs.

I agree with that, it makes sense.

But his own mother was the one who gave him the letter, and I'd imagine she knows what is actually best for her own son.

Don't put all special needs kids into the same box. Unless you think his own mother is degrading him and you know better than she?

I maybe wrong about the mother. But the way she handled it and went to the media, it makes me fear she is the type of parents that will never allow their downs kid to fully develop. It is hard, but the parents have to allow them to feel sadness and loss and failure, in order for them to grow. I maybe completely wrong about this mother and I hope I am
