I agree and personally find it an offensive word. I'd put it up there with racial, cultural derogatory terms. Anyone with respect and common sense shouldn't be using these words.
The issue is if picketing movie theaters is going to help their cause or not. The downside could be a film getting unpaid publicity about their film. The upside you spread the word that this is not a proper term for people with developmental disabilities.
