I hope I don't offend you but if you're right it sounds like you're in a down full of backwards thinking medieval douchebags who need to get a grip on reality. It ain't all pretty and people can't help be autistic. More power to you my friend for being a good boyfriend.
You're doing the right thing. Ignore the idiot townsfolk. It's THEIR fault they see the poor kid as "undesirable" in their eyes. It happens. If they can't accept it, they can shove their heads farther up their asses.
Probably missing some facts here, if not then they probably don't really understand his condition. Take him out with you to any outdoors activity, walk to the park or whatever, and show people that there's nothing wrong with associating with him. Also, you get +1000 points on your good person tab.
Lol, yeah I can't wait to move somewhere more well. Lets just say I knew a kid that had a stepmom that was his Aunt...IDK about you but thats just wrong. I also know a girl who has an aunt 10 years younger than her. Shes 25 her aunt is 15...KindOfnElf said:Oh man... "The population was 413 at the 2000 census."Im Nightmare said:

I know my parents friends son is mentaly retarded. (But it isn't terribly bad) and their is a kid on my street who is extreamly retarded. I see my parents friends son as a normal person, and I try my best to see my neighbor as a person (most the time it works, if he doesn't try to go into my house to steal my tissues.)
Ignore them, You're doing the absolute right thing. Just stay happy with your girlfriend.

You're doing the right thing, and that's very admirable of you. My mother works with children who have autism and other developmental disorders in a public elementary school, and she instilled in me the belief that people with developmental disorders don't think in a way inferior to normal thought, they just see the world differently than the rest of us do. The way that town is behaving is pretty detestable.
You live in a very very small town I presume, also I'm guessing that town is filled with backwater redneck scum.
I remember that back in elementary and middle school, there was a group of mentally and sometimes both mentally and physically disabled (I didn't know their exact problems) who the other kids avoided, including myself. It's not that we ever hated them, or even joked about them. It was just awkward to be around them due to our pity. I still feel uncomfortable around them, as I just hate even thinking about how unfortunate they are. Of course, I live in a rather small town, so my location might make me a bit biased.
That being said, your town is going very far with the avoidance; enough to be detestable, really. I'd say to stay with your girlfriend, because it's always nice to fly in the face of ignorance.

Stand proud, pal. You're a good man in a town full of douchebags. Do not bend, do not yield, do not back down. Remeber this: YOU ARE RIGHT!
