“Sometimes I have hard times. I was bullied at two of my schools. At one of my schools, I was bullied because I had no hair. I was going through treatment.”

Jimmy’s parents sent him to live at Muscatatuck in 1952. It was a state-run institution for people with developmental disabilities, a place where parents sent children with nowhere else to go.

The following days were hell. I fell flat-out in our foyer attempting to answer the door, at which point my elbows were bruised as well.
