No shit. I can't wait until 50 years from now, when "intellectually disabled" will be un-PC and instead people will be expected to refer to them as something even more ridiculous like "Persons who are considered by some cultural standards--that are not better or worse than any other culture--to emphasize their other talents and abilities over their mental capacity."

A while back I read through a medical textbook from the mid-1800's that simply referred to them as idiots. I got a kick out of that.
