Lack of attention keeps 16 year old Dane, Scott Mills, from training and competing with equals in his sport - swimming.
He suffers from a slight attention disorder that sort under the ADHD-syndrome. Because of this he can participate in the Special Olympics but he cannot live out his dream of attending the Para Olympics, as they do not allow mentally handicapped in the games.
- To be honest, It would be nice to be challenged, Scott Mills says.

Hi, I was just wondering: Is the Paralympics more prestigious to be a part of than the Special Olympics?

Special Olympics are for people with intellectual disabilities, while Paralympics are for people with physical, mental and sensorial disabilities.
Though the mental disabled has been pushed out of the Paralympics, due to an incident in Athens where a few athletes faked to by mentally handicapped.
Scott and his mother states that there simply arn’t any real competitive challenge in the Special Olympics.
