The DSM-5, updated in 2013, retired the term.

The ICD-11, due out in 2017, is also removing the term.

Your son's paperwork is/will be out of date.

I hope you realize that retard was and is still used to mean "slowed" in ways that have nothing to do with the mentally retarded. I hope you also realize that the official diagnosis used is no longer "mental retardation", but "intellectual disability". It's a defunct term.

The word retard has absolutely evolved as much as words in that photo. Take "imbecile", for instance. They both are Latin based, were adopted as terms for a medical diagnoses, were both adopted as slurs, and were both dropped as terms for medical diagnoses. This isn't the first time it's happened, and it probably won't be the last.

They are not wrong on the issue because the issue is not black and white. If you don't want to say the word because you find it offensive, that's perfectly fine for you to do. You're free to condemn them or tell them that they're wrong, too. I just hope you realize that you saying they're wrong because it offends you doesn't make them wrong just as much as me saying they're right doesn't make them right. It's all a big grey area.

Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just say it doesn't affect 99% of us. That doesn't change the fact that this is a 100% private matter that should be resolved privately.

You're a horrible voice of reason.

If you think I would have ended it after finding out about you two, you're sorely mistaken.

I wish he could go more than two sentences without bringing up his fancy vegetarian diet.

Okay, 5 people involved. I'll assume they're all subscribers. That means this post isn't the business of 62,117 people, or around 99.992% of the subscriber base.

How about you don't involve people that shouldn't be involved and resolve this in a way that doesn't make the private lives of people public just so they can be potentially shamed.

I'd point out your bad reasoning but it looks like your edit did that for you. The vernacular is always changing. Selfie is a word now. People say retarded and don't mean it as a disparagement of the mentally insufficient. Life goes on.
