Everyone more or less laughed and made fun of special children (and also "weird" or "abnormal" people) at one point in their lives, you'd be lying if you deny that.
My question is,
Why do we laugh?
Is it because it is genuinely funny, thus we laugh?
Is it to make ourselves better? if so what's the difference?
It is genuinely funny because they aren't normal.
Is there something wrong with that?
Most of the people who laughed at them are ignorant of their condition, including myself. I used to make fun of my classmate back on highschool, but since I became a teacher of kids with special needs, I became aware of the difficulties they're handling.
Now I greatfuly regret my actions back then, the only thing I could do is share awareness about it. I felt that it's my obligation now.
