Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML

Today, out of my whole class, I received no awards. All my teachers thought that I would get plenty from the others. Now people think I'm stupid. I have a 3.66 GPA and they won't believe me. FML

Today, I was told that when I was in middle school and thought I was considered class clown for either making jokes or acting stupid, people thought I actually was stupid and/or mentally challenged. FML

Today, I realized that a kid in my class is actually autistic and didn't have ADHD. The teachers went out of their way to lie that he has ADHD and not autism. No wonder people thought I was a "retard" (their words, not mine) when it came out that I had ADHD and started using classroom accommodations. FML

The biggest lie

By dumb - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found out that I was held back in preschool because of some developmental issues. My parents didn't think it was important enough to mention it to me. Why hadn't I figured it out? They also lied to me about how old I was. FML

Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML

Today, I found out that my parents lied to me about my GPA so they could go back on our agreement of "3.0 or above or summer school" and had no intention of honoring the agreement anyway. I've been in summer school doing catch-up for kicks. FML

It is now acceptable for you to commit murder,arson and kidnapping etc. As long as you play the mentally handicapped part very well.

wth? are THEY retarded? or do you just act really dumb? because, with no offense to mentally retarded people, you would think it would be obvious that you don't have mental issues. the handicapped kids that I know are either in wheelchairs, or have reactions to loud sounds, or some feat that makes it obvious...

There are different levels of retardation I've known some people that when you have a conversation with them they seem perfectly fine but certain parts of there brain are compromised. So like this one person could know exactly what there saying and thinking but maybe the part of there brain that tells there muscles to move is messed up so that do things funny. Also memory can be one thing it's just depends on the person they could be autistic or have down syndrome or have been in a car wreck. Some people are just born with missing parts of there brain.

Have you ever heard of autism? It is a mental handicap that, in some cases, the only obvious signs a stranger may notice is the person's antisocial personality.
