00:00:06,578 --> 00:00:08,529
About me having Down syndrome.

2
00:00:10,097 --> 00:00:12,872
(interviewer) The other thing
that's happening right now

3
00:00:12,872 --> 00:00:16,052
is the controversy
about what they call the R word.

4
00:00:16,272 --> 00:00:20,145
Oh, yeah. I know I'm sure what that means.

5
00:00:21,779 --> 00:00:24,662
(interviewer)
So what is your thought about...?

6
00:00:24,662 --> 00:00:27,747
- Like as retarded? The R word?
- (interviewer) Mm-hmm.

7
00:00:29,014 --> 00:00:30,805
I don't really like it at all.

8
00:00:30,805 --> 00:00:34,039
It reallyaffected me in many ways,

9
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:35,584
because I've been teased a lot.

10
00:00:36,823 --> 00:00:38,512
I've been teased with that

11
00:00:41,290 --> 00:00:45,353
from elementary school, high school,

12
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:50,367
and I didn't like it.

13
00:00:50,367 --> 00:00:53,089
I was going to stand up for myself,

14
00:00:53,089 --> 00:00:55,878
but I did not have the courage.

15
00:00:55,878 --> 00:00:58,276
And I said something like,

16
00:01:01,286 --> 00:01:03,727
"Leave me alone or my sister
will come after you!"

17
00:01:03,727 --> 00:01:05,328
(interviewer laughs)

18
00:01:05,328 --> 00:01:07,065
(laughs)

19
00:01:07,065 --> 00:01:09,148
She sure did! They got me!
