He seems to be helping them and seems to care about them so what the hell is the problem with calling them "*******"? It's ridiculous! They are "RETARDED thus they are "*******".. just because he didn't pussy foot around his choice of words!

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.
