Crazy at it sounds, as they lead ( or follow) very protected lives- they may have a long lifespan in captive or semi-captive institutions. Some show very little signs of aging. on the other hand , that is a horrible price to pay for youthful looks! They have nothing to worry about- are unable to read about, say bomb scares or terrorists in the newspaper, and have some very distorted concepts of reality.- In this they resemble children who have never grown up- the supposedly ( ideal) Peter Pan neverland- in reality- and it is not funny. For example a woman in middle age talks about Buck Rogers, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans as though they are next-door neighbors! they can"t figure things out like adults do, and have trouble telling fact from fiction, again resembling children.

During the Great Depression, individuals with intellectual disabilities, often referred to as "mentally retarded" in historical contexts, faced severe discrimination and neglect. While there is no widespread documentation of systematic killings specifically during this era, many were subjected to poor living conditions, institutionalization, and lack of care, which significantly increased their vulnerability. Additionally, eugenics movements in the early 20th century did advocate for the sterilization and marginalization of people with disabilities, contributing to their suffering during this period.
