I only have one thing to put on Wikipedia.. It's a new thing that I'm sure only a few people have heard of.

Mentardphobia

Mentardphobia is not a commonly known fear. There are few people that actually have this fear. It is the fear of down syndrome, mentally retarded and special needs children or adults. What causes Mentardphobia can be any uncomfortable situation that one has experienced with a special needs person. The person with the fear will most likely not notice it until the end of elementary or beginning of junior high school, since children are tolerable and don't notice much.

The symptoms, you could say, are as follows:

* you feel the special one will hurt you * the special people generally terrify you * the special people following you is greatly disturbing * being near a special person makes you panic * seeing a special person sends chills up your spine

As for ways to cure this, there are none known. One could condition them self around the special people if they really feel the need to be rid of the fear. More information is yet to be discovered about this curious and sad phobia.
