You don’t think they are a burden to society and why do some people think they are? What is their future like? Why do they call them a burden and always protected sexual wise? Like making sexual decisions too. Why do their parents worry more than typical people when it comes to that? And shuns them from casual sex?

I do not have an Intellectual Disability. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1 (Mild), plus I satisfy the criteria formerly associated with Asperger's Syndrome. I'm sure some folk would consider that to be an intellectual disability but I disagree. I'm in Mensa, that is, my intelligence is just fine elevated. My "disability" is dealing with other people.

I can't really answer that. I don't have an intellectual disability.
