While reading Adam’s Peace by Henri Nouwen I had seen that he wrote about a caring person who helped the disable individuals.

Do not put an label on the individual who has the disability like for an example “Sue brother is retarded” that is an negative thing to say try saying like this “Sue brother has a cognitive disability” this would be a better choice. If someone has a hard time understanding you, things that you can do to make things better is to talk slowly, speak clearly, and give them time to process with the information that are given to them. Give the person a chance just because they have a disability does not mean that they do not know how to socialize with normal people. If you know someone or work with someone who has a disability do not tell people that they have one it could hurt their feelings and it is disrespectful.
