My roommate is autistic and was in the special classes. He thinks it's funny to be called a retard when he's, you know, being retarded. He actively tells me not to stop doing it. Hell, he's the one who told me it was fine to begin with, haha
Hey! It doesn't matter if people say they are ok with it! White people are fixing the world by doing nothing but creating limitations to how we speak! Can't you understand how that's better?
Look at Latin-x and how it isn't usable by anyone that actually speaks Spanish and was entirely conceived of by rich kids in universities in America! It's just obviously better when we let others define our entire interactions with the world and immediately get upset to try to shame anyone not conforming to the point that shame isn't even usable because no one feels it anymore.
This is better this way. ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
Do you get all of your advice for social interactions from your autistic roommate?
