This topic is somewhat serious, somewhat not. I don't mean "mentally-challenged" as an insult in any way. Do any of you have to converse with someone of that group on a regular basis? How do you do it? Any tips?

I talk to myself.

Ourcrazymodern?

I consider us all to be mentally challenged, in one way or another, and then try to feel our oneness.

It is generally not that hard to talk with challenged individuals. Starting and continuing conversations is not all that difficult with them.

I fear an entire conversation will be made out of that one.

The "mentally-challenged" come in varying degrees, right?

Our oneness challenges.

As a CNA, I have to deal with really old, senile whackos who complain about everything and nothing. Sometimes they just find a corner in the facility and cry all day. It's a little easy to talk with them, when they have their teeth in, but they usually end up telling me about how their parents are going to pick them up in a few minutes or so and that they need to get ready for the return home. On bad days it can get annoying, but I love them anyways.

Spend some time over at politics. You'll figure it out.
