Sure they were. In the 60s and 70s my grandmother worked in a state mental hospital, largest in the state. She worked in the nursery. Back then many people assumed a physical deformity equaled feeble minded. She had babies with down syndrome, clef pallets, and other physical abnormalities. It may not happen as often now, but be sure that it did happen.
shareCool story bro.
I meant adults, like the movie.

I said my grandma worked in the nursery. Where do you think the kids went when they grew up? I was the largest mental hospital in the state. They had all ages. The place only closed in the last decade.
shareThe point is physically deformed adults were never segregated.

I am not understand how you came to that conclusion. I just told you this mental facility was filled with physically deformed adults. Not all of them came as babies...
It did happen but not in the 60's and 70's. It happened back in the early part of the 20th century and Down's syndrome is much more than a physical deformity.
shareWhat are you referring too? My grandmother worked in the facility in the 60's and 70's. Downs was just one example. I also listed other conditions she nursed for. Ectrodactyly is a physical condition she worked with that doesn't always mean mental disabilty. Never the less, parents or doctors saw a baby with misinformed hands and feet and just assumed they would be feeble mined so they were placed in the hospital.
shareNobody is talking about Downies or other mental disabilities, the title clearly says PHYSICALLY DEFORMED WERE NEVER SEGREGATED.

And I have clearly said there were other conditions besides people with down syndrome at the hospital. Clef pallet, missing limbs, ectodactyly...when a baby was born with such physical deformities people sometimes assumed they had a mental disability as well and sent them to institutions. This argument is stupid.
sharepeople sometimes assumed they had a mental disability
If they are being segregated for a mental disability, they aren't being segregated for a PHYSICAL disability. I'm starting to think you have a mental disability for repeatedly not understanding this.

It's not me you should be worried about. This is over.
shareDid I say I was worried? You really don't get it.

This thread is endlessly amusing. My favorite part was when the guy who was clearly never paying attention claimed the other guy must have a mental disorder.

...who was also the same guy who started the topic, presumably for discussion. AND he actually used the word "Downies" 😶
Sooo... Cool thread bro 😏 share
This is incorrect. People with physical as well as mental deformities were institutionalized in the States as a matter of course well into the 1980s. Reagan economic policies slowly shut down many such institutions and it gradually became more common to see people with severe disabilities and deformities in public. At the same time, largely due to advances in prenatal medicine, grave deformities also became more rare.
Just because you're too young to remember something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
"You have a morbid sense of fun." "That's probably true."
You're wrong, which is why you offer no sources.

I am, myself, a witness to history. I am the source.

That's not how sources work, stupid.
