The blessing of development and intellectual disability in today's world is that most ordinary people believe in maintaining an open mind and attitude towards disability guided by a tolerant and informed perspective. With the rise of technology, people are more awake than ever. Almost every country has organizations and laws that allow people with disabilities to live a respectful life. Meaningful life is not always the case, and the cruelty of the disabled has only begun to rise decades ago. For centuries people have changed their attitudes towards people with disabilities, and it may be the worst curse to become a disabled person in ancient times.
The oldest historical evidence for the treatment of persons with disabilities dates back to 7000 BC and involves the application of massage, bath and herbal treatments to try to treat developmental and intellectual disabilities. There is also evidence that "magic" is used to try to get rid of the possession of the demon. However, between 800 BC and 400 BC, the idea of treating people with disabilities was largely abandoned. Rarely considers human life, and ancient cultural discoveries simply kill anyone born with a disability rather than trying to take care of or cure them more easily. Ancient Greek and Roman culture values perfection and beauty. As a result, in these cultures, most of the shortcomings of babies, children and adults with developmental disabilities are caused.
Disabled people are not understood or tolerated, even the most respected ancient Greek philosophers and scientists, Aristotle has commanded, "On the exposure and upbringing of children, there is a law that children who are not deformed should live. Aristotle's advice may be one of the easiest ways to get disabled people to give up disabled babies and children and let them die. It is hard to imagine the slow and painful deaths that thousands of babies and children must suffer. For decades, according to Aristotle's decree, infanticide has been widely carried out in ancient Greece.
In ancient Rome, disabled people were called "monstrum" and the birth of disabled children was seen as a sign of evil. Romans are allowed to sell freely, harming or killing their disabled children, who often end up becoming jealous or in court as a source of entertainment and entertainment.
Perhaps the first person who firmly believes that the developmental disorder is not because of the evil spirit but a medical disease that can be cured is the great Greek therapist Hippocrates. Later, the Greek doctor Sonarus opened the first such hospital to treat patients with mental and developmental disorders.
People's attitudes began to change slowly, but nothing changed, just like religion. In particular, the rise of Christianity taught followers; Luke 9:48 and said to them, "All who receive this child in my name will receive me." Those who receive me will receive the one who sent me. Because the least important among you is great. [unknown].
