The truth is that people are more understanding of atypical neurological development when the person looks different, as in the case of Down's Syndrome. No one expects "normal" behavior. People look at Marissa and believe she looks "normal" and their expectations are much different.

The article referenced police being called to Goldtrap's nephew's house, but HELLO, how many drunken brawlers are there out there who are NOT committed and WILL do the same thing 'next time' and we all know it?<BR/><BR/>Ya know?
