Is it normal to feel more comfortable around the mentally challenged?

As I child, during Field Day, because I have asthma, I couldn't attend. Every year, The teachers would let me play jenga and color, etc with the mentally challenged kids instead. I felt more comfortable with them than I ever did with my "normal" peers. We would just enjoy each others company and play. It was peaceful and quiet cause most of them couldn't speak. And I was nearly "mute" anyway, so I didn't mind.. I enjoyed myself a little too much. And the special Education teachers were very nice and nurturing.
Even now at 21 years old, I still prefer them and find them fascinating.

Do you think there was something wrong with me too or is this something any kid wouldve enjoy?? :-)

    tbh i find mentally challenged people to be very sweet, i spent some time with them over the years due to having a spare lesson during high school, and i had nowhere else to go but the special ed. i usually spent time by myself working, but occasionally one of the mentally challenged would come in.

    i'll admit they can throw a bit of a temper tantrum sometimes, but honestly their one of the nicest people i've met and i often helped them out with things. they were so nice, they even wanted me to come along with them to some theme park! (which i declined due to being an anti-social asshole, which i regret now) but yeah i wish i became better friends with them before leaving school :(

    I myself somehow find myself comfortable around persons widely considered as "crazy" or "weird". Just flapping out everything to those persons under a bond of being weird. Mostly it's just a one-way feeling. Which makes me hate the human race so much more.

    Back to the point. I guess it's normal, because MC people never judge you.
