Meet Garth

Garth is a 25-year-old young man who is so sweet and silly and loves spending time with his family. Garth also loves M&Ms and will do almost anything for a pack of them. He also really loves transformers and playing games with his cousins. Garth has a favorite joke that he asks every time you see him, it goes-
Garth- Knock, knock
You- who’s there?
Garth- You
You- You, who?
Garth- You my friend??
You- Of course Garth!

Garth tells this joke with a huge smile and it never gets old for him. There is a difference between Garth and many of his peers he is cognitively impaired, his mental age is around the age of a 6 year old, he has spent almost his whole life in special education programs and has always had an IEP and now Garth works as a janitor and is covered by a 504 plan.
