Rosemary

What do you guys think of the portrayal of Rosemary as having 'retardation'? Obviously what they did to her was awful no matter what, but there are conflicting reports about the true nature of her illness. Not much is known about her because so much information was suppressed. Some say she was autistic or had severe learning disabilities, others say she was bipolar or had a similar mental illness, and there are even some who say, having read her diaries and letters, that she was a completely normal young woman whose only problem was her inability to conform to her parents' expectations in Kennedy clan. A doctor who tested her said her IQ was above 75. It is reported that her sister Kathleen thought she suffered from a form of depression that wasn't readily understood by her parents or others. I've never really been sure what to think myself.
