My cousin Anthony David Jones, was born with mental retardation. To furthermore explain, Anthony was born a premature baby and he was also born with a tumor in his head which lead the disease. Throughout my cousins life he had to repeatedly get surgery on his head because he would oftenlly have seizure's. Anthony also had the privilege to have Dr. Ben Carson work on his head at a point in time. Anthony is now 17 years old and he is overweight because of all of the medication he takes; my grandparents (Mary and George Witherspoon) take care of Anthony because his mother (Sherry Witherspoon) was murdered, when he was a young. Mental retardation is a condition diagnosed before age 18 that includes below-average general intellect; and also lack of skill necessary for daily life.
