Compassionate where possible. Mental handicap sometimes is difficult to understand and how to approach it. I always have in mind to be gentle.

I'm mentally handicapped

I had a good friend who in his mid 20's developed the mental disease schizophrenia. He used to smoke a lot of pot and apparently it triggered the disease. After several weird and dangerous situations he lost everything and got institutionalized.
I visited him once like 3 years ago and sadly it was too much for me. I couldn't keep up with the nonsense of his conversation and the way I couldn't escape it because he was making me part of his nonsense. Submerging myself in his world left me anxious and sad. I do message him from time to time but for my own sanity I prefer to keep away from him.

Have you also noticed that people are usually much more prone to be compassionate towards handicapped animals than towards their human counterparts?
For ex., my beloved dog, who died not long ago, was handicapped. He was prognathous, walked on three paws, was one-eyed and had some mental problems. But people always said he is very cute and adorable. Often, walking down the street with him, people I didn’t even know approached me to show compassion towards him, to say he is so cute, etc. You don’t do the same for humans.
My dog:
And worse, handicapped humans are often rejected in their own family. A friend of mine, who has a sister with Down syndrome, complained that not only, people in general do not want to interact with her sister, but in her own extended family, at family reunions, people ignore her sister with Down syndrome, they show very little interest in her.

In some occasions, but in my experience it depends on the person. The same handicapped animal one would think is cute and cherish it as part of the family, another would throw in a charity or worse abandon in the street, even worse might even abuse it. The same logic would apply to a handicapped person, some people are just capable to plod along even if they don't understand the magnitude of it and be supportive and others would just turn their face in disgust even if part of their own family. I find it all comes down to your upbringing and most importantly the way you are wired. Maybe the same person that found your dog adorable, would be happy to show interest to the down syndrome person as well
Also your pup is adorable indeed XD

Yes absolutely. Usually they have a hidden condition or predisposition. (Unless they truly abuse some hard drug so much it drives them nuts). In my friends case, doctor said schizophrenia tends to starts earlier, and it was probably his pot consumption which triggered his late onset. I wonder he had restrained from smoking so much would he be ok by now or would have his schizophrenia develop anyways?
And Who in the forum do you refer to?
