I finally read the book and Forrest is not mentally deficient at all in the book.

In the book, he's a very aware, intelligent person who's good at focusing on and solving problems but has a speech impediment.

Maybe the movie tried to do that, but I don't think they tried to do that.

He also goes to space with a chimpanzee.

The book is pretty crazy.

You're not wrong they literally have a scene talking about his test scores showing his mentally deficiency on a written test.

In the film he's a diagnosed retard.

I mean he is from alabama.
