    Somehow it’s okay for autism but the “R word” is highly offensive.

    Yeah? Only one of those words is a slur. It’s the one you literally can’t write down because it gets removed for being a slur.

      Retard isn’t itself a slur just like autism isn’t. The context in which they’re used makes them a slur, and in OPs context, autistic is used as a slur.

        You’re still fighting the r-word war? Most people moved on around 2008 with the attack helicopter jokes.
