"retarded"
"blind"
"deaf"
are all perfectly good words that have had negative conotations attached to them through usage with scorn.
What is to say that "developmentally disabled" won't be the same some day? ("Hey look! There's that stupid DD kid!")
We need to attack the root of the problem, that is, people's attitudes and not the symptoms.
