Why do people with autism/aspergers of all things use 'ret*d' to insult something? You'd think we'd understand a bit better. :roll:

Here in Mexico there are some parks where they've got these two signs:

1. Don't step on the grass.
2. If you don't know how to read, please ask the policeman.

I REALLY hope it was a joke (sometimes they do that).

As far as I'm aware, the word 'ret*d' is not as offensive in other countries as it is in England. I too hate the word though.

Otherwise, this has brightened up my miserable day!

Why does braille have to be in the most stupid of places...
If you're blind HOW do you know where the braille is? If you're blind, wouldn't you already KNOW where or what it is?
What about the braille on toilets? Sometimes there is a notice "Out of Order" Why is THAT not in Braille?

My mom is blind so I can answer some of those questions.

1. If you're blind HOW do you know where the braille is? If the braille is for a door sign(like a room number at a hotel) it is almost always on the right of the door.
2. If you're blind, wouldn't you already KNOW where or what it is? Not neccesarrily. My mom works in a hospital as a physical therapist, and she uses the room number signs all the time.
3. What about the braille on toilets? Sometimes there is a notice "Out of Order" Why is THAT not in Braille? If there is a sign on a door in a bathroom, a blind person would usually go to the next stall.
