Do they use “mentally challenged” anymore? About 20+ years ago a friend who has a son who is [fill in your own euphemism here] and was wired into the community of parents of [fill in your own euphemism here] children told me they don’t use the word “retarded” anymore. They say “mentally challenged”. It’s good, she tells me.

Is it? I’m “mentally challenged”, too. Every single day. But I call it “thinking”.

/and when I stop being mentally challenged I’ll call it “dead”.
