[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea of “intent” is interesting here. If he had some involuntary tic that he indiscriminately shouted - something like “ah! or “moo!” - at anyone at any time, that seems like there’s no intent - it’s automatic and random. But here, his brain IS processing. His brain is assessing the situation and finding the most offensive slur for a particular person. Even if he cannot control the actual muscles in his mouth to keep it in, it does seem like there’s intent on the part of his brain. [/quote] And going further, I’m surprised the neurological / medical community have not developed treatments or drugs for this condition. It seems like people are saying, “eh, this is how he is, you just have to sit back and take it and no, he doesn’t need to apologize.” But… we still want to live in a civilized society. Every day, people with disabilities treat / manage their conditions. I don’t know why this would be any different. [/quote]
