¶ I had thought that the Paralympics were for athletes who had lost the use of a limb, or were blind, but Fortune merely has a speech impediment - and there are videos on Youtube that show her speaking in a very ordinary way, certainly better than some people who never get special consideration. Altho dyspraxia is described as neurological, she definitely isn't the sort for Special Olympics. There are the international Deaf Games (for which she isn't qualified) - whose athletes aren't accepted for Paralympics because their problems are only communicative - so how come Fortune made the cut??
