Spazistas

I was thinking about starting up a social group that championed rights and challenged stereotypes for the disabled by making an absolute mockery of them.
 
It would involve randomly walking up to people and acting like a borderline mentally disabled person. Members would measure how long it took for the actor to be rejected and each member would have their own unique mentally disabled acting style.

The group would meet regularly for a person to person or person to group session to develop their mentally disabled character with other members.

Then there would be sessions organized to go out as a group and have individuals approach random people with their character.

I think it would a very helpful exercise to overcome social anxiety while at the same time defeating negative stereotypes around mentally disabled people.
