Sorry to just pull one quote out like this. But you can't actually tell that about a person by the quality of their writing. I know someone who finished at least two university degrees and wrote a best-selling book before finding out she was "ret*d". (And yes she was impaired in all of the other areas besides just IQ below 70.) Lots of "ret*d" people can pass for nondisabled in person and in writing.
