i agree with that. but then is it wrong to use the term ###### if you dont mean it in an offensive way. sometimes its just easier than saying highly functioning developmentally disabled person. yet whenever you say it people will jump all over you for it even if you had no negative tone to it. Like Dion said earlier the people he works with dont object to the term ######ed, just ######. Just hard for me to keep up with all the PC terms I guess.
