He should watch Season 3 of Arrested Development.

If he's serious about dating her and pursuing a real relationship with her then all the best to him. but like shakran wrote, there is just something not right with the way he describes her. She may be mentally retarded but they way he describes her it seems almost as if he subconsciously despises her for it.
In the end, he's gonna run into trouble, if not from the people around him then from the parents and non retarded siblings etc. My experience with people who have a lowered cognitive capacity than normal is that their family (and friends of the family) are extremely protective of them.
If he's serious about a relationship with her, his first obstacle will be to gain the trust and approval of all those who care for her at the same time as he's initiating the relationship with her.
