It recently became department policy to purchase all our animal care supplies online and have them shipped, but my work location (public park) doesn't have a mailbox, so we've been getting things shipped directly to the post office. Today I went to pick up a shipment of several hundred superworms but the postal workers are insisting that it's not possible to have packages shipped directly to the post office. I gave them a tracking number which revealed they were delivered a couple days ago and now they're looking for them. Somewhere in the post office are 500 lost worms.

I wanted to share some etiquette for simplifying something down for someone with a cognitive/intellectual disability
you are simplifying the information down, not sharing your opinion
if I ask for a news article to be simplified down and you tell me "they're doing fascist things" that's unhelpful. I want to know what they're doing not what you think about what they're doing.
you should be objective with it
if an article is talking about, say, a new proposed bill in Congress an example of an appropriate way to summarize would be:
"this is what the bill is proposing
this is how the article says it will affect people
this is what the author thinks about it"
and then you can start talking about your opinion
we have a right to form our own opinions about information. if the only thing you share is your opinion you're denying us that right. when simplifying language you are a translator. think of yourself as a translator.
