This word...This is what people need to understand. This word is offensive because the people that it's aimed towards say it is! They are saying, quite loudly, that this word hurts yet people do are not listening. The n-word used to be used frequently as well until the group of people that it ws aimed towards stood us and sadi--this word hurts me! So we (well most of us) don't use that word anymore. It's time for the r-word to be treated the same. I hate the excuse that 'they didn't mean it that way' or 'I wasn't talking about your kid' --what a cop out. We are not being over-sensitive by standing up for our kids while they are not able to. The day will come when they will be able to stand and say that word hurts me. I just hope by then, people will be willing to listen.

I also correct people and refer them to www.r-word.org when I read a comment of facebook or other sites using the word :) I have a non verbal, severely autistic, absolutely adorable son and I vowed to always stand up for him and speak up for him... because he can't :) And by the way, your daughter is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

When Cora was born it all had new meaning and hurt badly. I think the understanding about why it's hurtful when people "don't mean it that way" is because the slang version got its meaning from people's perception of what it meant to be intellectually disabled: stupid. And then it evolved to many variations of that, always negative. So even when someone doesn't mean it like that, they really do. Which totally sucks. One thing my husband brought up a lot is the use of the words idiot and moron. They were also used, along with the r word, to describe different levels of cognitive disability. So he argues that they are just as offensive. I. Fact, for as long as I've known him, he has been super opposed to the word idiot. I just don't know if it's meaning was limited to people with IDs. Anyway.... Great post!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985688905432556253noreply@blogger.com
