In this episode we discuss the age old tradition of bullying and most specifically what it's like and how it feels to be a parent of a child with an intellectual disability who is bullied and treated among his "typical" peers. As sweet and charming as Stevie is, and no matter how much adults fall in love with him the moment they meet him, among his typical peers he's mostly viewed as someone who's weird or different. And it doesn't help that he can have a hard time communicating or difficult time understanding or keeping up with games and discussions and so he instantly becomes the outcast.
