Shopper Insults Her Brother At The Supermarket, So She Calls Rude Man Out For All To See

It's heartbreaking to see someone you love in pain. When Stina Sanders was out with her brother Jack, she could not believe it when a rude man at the supermarket called her brother the "R" word.

Jack has autism, and sometimes he makes noises while covering his ears because sounds can be irritating. While they were walking in a supermarket aisle, a man began to judge her brother as he passed them.

"It was like he was disappointed in Jack for being different. Of course, Jack can't help it," Stina told Daily Mail. "It's not the first time this has happened either and I'm sure it won't be the last."

The man then called Jack the "R" word, perhaps the most offensive thing you can say to someone with disabilities.

Fed up with people constantly judging her brother, Stina wrote an open letter to the rude man on her blog.

Dear man in the supermarket who called my brother a retard,

My brother’s name is not "retard," his name is Jack. But thanks for pointing out the fact that he is different. He’s very special, actually.

Yes, he struggles to read and write, and his conversational skills may not be that impressive, but at least he can make you feel happy when he flashes you a smile. Yes, he’ll never be able to drive a car, or get a job, but at least he puts effort into being the best person he can be. Yes, he’ll never marry or have children and he will always have 24/7 care, but at least he enjoys life and never complains.

The day you decided to label my brother the R-word was the day I decided to feel sorry for you. I’m sorry that you can’t celebrate individuality and I’m sorry that you are so ignorant to people’s feelings.

It must have been a difficult day for you. Just like our day maybe? I know you spotted Jack walking around with his fingers in his ears; he does that to drown out loud noises, but now I’m beginning to think it’s maybe because he wants to drown out people like you.

I don’t know if you have children or if you ever will, but one thing I do hope is that you have someone in your life who is just as special as Jack.

Jack is autistic and his disability has never been an issue. It’s just who he is. The only problem with his disability is having to deal with people like you.

People who can’t accept those who are different. I hope you read this and realize that it is you who has the problem and maybe it is you with the serious mental disability?!
