A long time ago people with mental retardation were diagnosed as idiots as well as other terms which people started using as slang insults. Because of this they changed the diagnostic name to "mental retardation" which people started using again as slang insults.
Because of this mental health professionals are changing the diagnostic term again to "Intelliectual Developmental Disorder".
I wonder if in 10 years you'll hear people saying "Thats Intelliectual Developmental Disordered" when they want to insult something.
IIN I'm bothered that people are bothered by the term 'retard'?
