Years ago I was a support worker for people with intellectual disability. I was with a client at an art class and joined the painting activity. One of the teachers came up to me and said, "Hi! I haven't met YOU before. What's YOUR name?" I told her and then she looked at my painting (which was crap) and she exclaimed, "Oh, that is FANTASTIC! You are SOOOO good at this.

As much as this was one of the greatest moments in the history of this show it also ended up being the complete downfall for the character of Kevin - they wanted to keep going with Kevin having moments where one would suspect him of being mentally challenged but did so to the point where it became his defining characteristic, and also made them worse each time to the point where at the end of season 7-start of season 8 he’s pretty much been given the brain of a four year old
