Actually, I think the term "special" is kind of patronizing. I'm certainly not implying you intended it that way, though, MrPryck, I'm sure you didn't. I believe what is considered PC at the moment (it seems to change frequently) is "developmentally disabled" or "intellectually disabled."
The problem with that is that most retarded people are not disabled in any way. One part or another of their person has been retarded in its development. Hence "retarded".
When I hear people say not to use the term 'retarded', I feel like I am listening to Michael Scott not want to use the term 'mexican' because its derogatory.
