It is not OK to refer to ourselves or anyone with derogatory terms.

No matter what you call it, people are going to use it in a derogatory fashion if they look down on what it describes. Look at what the word "special" has come to mean when applied to people. It's not a compliment.

When I was growing up the word retarded was the correct word for someone considerably less intelligent than average. Now people are saying it's derogatory and unacceptable. I even saw a public service announcement that said so. What do they want to be called now, and how long will it be before that word is unacceptable?

I heard, like the AMA even changed the word becuz of pressure, It was a medical term, obviously anyone can look it up and the accurate definition. To change this word becuz kids in the seventies used to be mean is sooo dumb. I mean, are we also gonna get rid of 'short buses', becuz now it is a euphemism for the 'special' people?

Retard
I want him to be included and understood. I want people to look at him and see the person he is, not judge him by his diagnosis.

Moo is on a mission to change the world!
Anyone who dares say the r word within ear shot is going to get a lecture. She better start avoiding any crowds.
She has been dreading the moment for two years when some dares to say retarded in front of her downie kid.
Note: is it really worth dreading something so trivial for two years? And given his condition more than a bit unrealistic to expect him to not hear it?Quote

You don't call retarded people retards, it's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they're acting retarded.

Idiot was formerly a legal and psychiatric category of profound intellectual disability in which a person's mental age is two years or less, and he or she cannot guard against common dangers.

And yet here she is broadcasting his diagnosis. Obviously if someone said "the R word" in her presence, it wasn't registering with them that her kid was. Until she pointed it out.
