"retarded person" isnt a specific thing mate there isnt a diagnosis for "oh im so sorry you have the retardnedness" all that requires for someone to be considered such from a medical point of view (which isnt even used as a medical term anymore at least around here) is that they have learning difficulties.
what you just said is like looking at an asexual person and saying "oh sorry you arent lgbt enough" or looking at a switch and saying "oh you arent console enough, sorry"
ASD is a mental illness, not a learning disability. Not the same thing. And if you’re wondering why I’m pedantic about this sort of thing, it’s because I have ASD. It’s kind of a hallmark of a lot of cases of the disorder.
The term specifically refers to learning disabilities, which are comorbid with but not the same thing as ASD. Hell, in most schools, excessive pedantry is considered an academic advantage. Just because the slur is sometimes used on you does not mean you are one of the primary group affected by it.
