I mean the kid seemed to comprehend that this is bullshite and smoked the compitition

Maybe he isn't really special enough for the special olympics.

Its a spectrum after all

I think the rule is pretty fair. It seems like they place kids in races based on their qualifying time. So super slow kids get grouped together, which gives them a chance to still win something.

It'd be pretty fricked up if a kid loafed in order to get in a slow group and then take the gold.

If that isn't how it works....then the rule is ridiculous.

I was wondering if Autism is actually something that would qualify someone for the special olympics. I know that autism is an issue and there are different levels, but I'm just not sure that it's quite the same as someone with, say...down syndrome.
