lol that is the worst tldr ever. It is about someone born with profound retardation due to brain injury and who later dies due to his disability as an adult, and the attempt of his brother to communicate with him.

but i thought it had something to do with crypto currency seeds

Why was this downvoted?

This is correct, parent provides clearly wrong information. And yeah, I thought this was going to be the 12word thing cryptos use, as well.

Ended up in tears, instead.

Some people can't seem to differentiate between calling people the r-word out of the left field and the medical use (out-dated use or not).

It's silly to get outraged about that, yet 'imbecile', 'idiot' and 'moron' are somewhat acceptable.

It's not PC to use the r-word nowadays, it really offends some people with non neurotypical folks in their families.
if i had a dollar for every stupid, unjustified downvote i would probably be able to buy a bitcoin
I expected the article to be about geolocation.
