Greater strides have been taken to involve mentally challenged children and adults with others who are not mentally challenged. They are also more accepted into 'special' sports and given challenges and it seems to be working in leaps and bounds. It's getting better every day and much less stigmatism is attached to a mentally challenged child or adult.
Today people with mental disabilities get varied treatment in America. Though we have come a long way in the past couple decades people with minor disabilities are treated as crazy people. People with schizophrenia are looked down upon in American society as loonies when there are people with that disability that live very functional lives. People or depression or Bipolar disorder are more accepted. With disabilities like downs syndrome or mild to severe autism are not longer left in a room to age like they used to. There are many programs in schools and for adults for people with severe mental disabilities and are for the most part understood as people who can be active members in society with assistance.
People then were put in a mental institute right away and now a doctor can do a diagnosis and find a way to treat it and help out the family.
