While I'd quarrel with the notion that the word "######ed" is used frequently in a bigoted sense, I will certainly concede the point that it is certainly frequently used in a manner insensitive to the difficulties faced by individuals with developmental disorders and other challenges (and it would be hypocritical to use it and simultaneously be irritated by casual use of "gay" as slang for "bad").
I retract the use of that phrase, though not the sentiment behind it. That analogy remains exceedingly stupid.
