Also, I know what formerly means.
It’s the first link that explained the difference I came across.
Wait, do you think people can not have mental retardation? What?
Ok, here Wikipedia instead:
“Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disability, a disorder characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in adaptive behaviors.”
Well, I do believe I have ADHD, OCD, maybe autism, Schizoid PD (NOT schizophrenia) maybe more.
So yes. I very much so believe it has something to do with it.
You are absolutely wrong it’s 100% real it just got merged into the ASD (Autism spectrum disorder). Please do research.

i see you don’t know what most of the words in this thread mean

You guys might really be autistic based on how pedantic this thread has become.
Very cool based answer to any truth finding debate bro thanks
it’s not us being pedantic, it’s reality. In reality, a thing can be redesignated and not be made unreal by the act. Sorry! It’s inconvenient I know.
