I am a 34 year old woman living in Texas and I am looking for some kind of support for Mental Retardation. I hold down a job but I am a loner and I really do not have any so called friends because I am so different. I am looking for a place to belong. Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you
Mary Chris

" Hi Mary,
I am the sister of a 28 year old girl with cerebral palsy who I help take care of. She is not near on your level but I want to congratulate you for what you have accomplished. I know it can be hard out there and people shy away or make fun, but if they do that then they're not worth it. Just be strong and hopefully you will find the support you need. I am here to talk if you need to. "

" It has to be very hard for you. I think you will find friends here. I would be happy to be one of them. Keep being a smiley friendly person and eventually you will find friends. Do you have any support people that can help you find some social activities to attend?Hugs and more hugs, Donna "
