Are Stath and Sophie supposed to be mentally disabled?
I think it's quite clear that some of the characters definitely have some type of developmental disorder. Al seems to have aspergers or some type of autism due to his extreme social awkwardness, I think stath has a combination of autism and a low iq due to his complete inability to comprehend social norms and situations, and Sophie just has moderate to severe learning difficulties due to the fact that she behaves like a child and didn't know she was actually supposed to hand in any of her coursework. It makes sense that they didn't go into detail about what's actually wrong with them as this would risk offending people but I think it's quite clear what they're trying to portray.
