Yes, it does.
Does Retarded Mean Disabled?
Retarded mostly means the intelligence lowly developed, not always lead to disable
G'day Tortoise,
Thank you for your question.
No. It means that you have an mental disability or low levels of intelligence. However, many people have a physical disability or lack one or more senses (blind or deaf) but are intelligent. Stephen Hawking, the physicist, has a physical disability caused by ALS but noone would call him stupid.
Regards

Retarded was used in my childhood.....my kid laughs now when I say it cause she claims that it is not used. We used it to refer to kids who we had issues, problems or were impaired. It is not a good word and we should NOT say it. Kids who even had speech problems were called retarded. Today we know that they still have brains and can be taught to speak correctly in time..
We have a boy across the street who jerks and has a severe brain problem and that is what I would call retarded because even with teaching, he cannot learn. He normally lives in a halfway house for boys and comes home twice a month on the weekend.

'Retarded' usually refers to mental conditions,
which is a disability. However, the term
is also used when referring to the physical
aspect and can have nothing at all to do with
the mind. Disabling the firewall. Disabling the
cruise control. Disabled can be described as
something 'not working like it should'.

Yes it is considered a mental disability.
Not literally.
It is supposed to. These days, it means stupid or weird.
Simply put someone who is diagnosed as being retarded means they are less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for their age.
Not in my opinion.Being retarded is i think, not being as quick as your peers
Yes i guess
Yeah, mentally handicapped.
Sort of... It means to hold back or slow down someone/something from accomplishment/ reaching the next level.. If someone is mentally retarded it just means that the speed at which they learn is slowed down..
It does mean they are disabled however as with some disabilities some can be outgrown or worked on & make progress.
Yes it does and you said it to me you meany and you know what condition i am in !
