Intellectually Disabled

The politically correct term for "mentally retarded." It became more widespread after the word "retard", originally used to describe a person who legitimately has an abnormally low IQ, was gradually used more and more as a pejorative term for people who suffer from developmental disorders.
"My cousin has an IQ of 62. He is intellectually disabled."
