Autism is not a disorder which causes retardation, infact, it can dramatically increase IQ and so they are the opposite of
"*******".
Furthermore,
"*******" isn't actually a dictionary definition of what you call someone with mental retardation. It's a slang term and so shouldn't be used with anything who has retardation.
It's not pussyfooting around with words, it's common manners not to call someone an offensive word.
