never...I have worked with mentally and physically handicapped people before, but only as a foreman in a subsidized factory that they worked at.  They would put together small plastic parts and shrinkwrap foam cones used for flowers and art bullshit.  I was like, managing a bunch of retards and spastics.  It was a good job and they were great people but it didn't pay much.  Looks good on a resume though.

You shouldn't call people retards or spastics.  It's offensive... very few words bother me, but "retard" honestly does.  People with developmental or acquired mental disabilities put up with enough shit in their lives, they don't need everyone casually throwing around derogatory words like that.

But I thought you said you did work like I do?  Or something, guess I don't remember right.  Placing catheters isn't much fun, but it needs doing.

I was always curious about this. I had a gf who got so mad when I said "retard" because I guess her dad was slow or some such, I mean what's the correct word? Isn't it medically retardation?

My boss is 80+ years old and she is always saying retard, she's not even trying to be mean but I can't help but laugh when she points out a "bus full of retards". She's also racist as fuck but I think it's unfair that someone her age should have to conceal it.

Intellectually disabled works, but that's kind of insulting too honestly.  I always found it best to refer to them more specifically, by either calling it by the actual disability in specific instances, or by saying either developmental or acquired (whichever it was) disability.  Stuff like down syndrome is a developmental disability, while brain damage resulting form a car accident is acquired.

So 'Hey!  Downs syndrome!  Get over here and clean this shit up!!!'  is more appropriate than 'Hey!  Retard!  Get over here and clean this shit up!'?
