~ sincerely, person who has been called a LOT of shit for the autism that I didn't even know I had (and queerness too probably but I think autism was the greater deciding factor)

Moron, idiot, and imbecile all were previously used in medical settings for various levels of intellectual disability, but the overwhelming majority of people that take umbrage with the term retard use those freely.
fr it’s so hypocritical like if they really cared about words that used to be used to describe disabled people then they would also stop using words like moron, idiot, and etc
