I thank the Chair for allowing me back in. There is one question that I meant to ask earlier which is somewhat sensitive. Those who are born intellectually disabled live in a different world and look at the world in a different way. When does it become clear that an individual is not capable of getting a job? Is that a family decision? I know that many are capable but when does it become apparent that some are not able to operate in the world in which we operate?
