I believe it's used because it isn't a slur or derogatory term.

People with alternative intelligence (down syndrome, autism, etc) are people who are typically born that way. That's how they are made in a sense.

A retard is someone who has greater intellectual POTENTIAL than they are displaying. They are being a retarded version of themselves if that makes sense.

In honesty I understand your point. I too have worked with these people. I personally prefer terms like intellectually alternative. I think they(though can be challenging hahaha) are beautiful and intelligent in their way. From which many can learn.


Retards are people who still trust the government and think cops are good people lol. It's like you're operating at a 10% capacity.
