A neurotypical, abled actor plays Forrest, the main character who used to be disabled and who has a cognitive disability. The child actor who plays young Forrest, wears leg braces.
A side character becomes an amputee later on in the movie but is also played by an abled actor.

The gag mentioned is NOT graphic and it’s more like a gasp. He seems to be more uncomfortable than anything. Instead of gagging, he says, “oh, oh, oh!” But if you don’t like that, just fast forward through the scene when Jenny sits on the bed with Forrest in her white underwear. They’re at her college when this happens.

A racist guy that Forrest talks to uses the word during the Alabama scene where people are fighting for desegregation of a school. He also uses the word "coon", which Forrest believes refers to raccoons, but which is another racist slur against black people.
