I’m still not getting it. Are you saying intellectual disabilities, formerly known as mental retardation, was previously frequently misdiagnosed? I can’t imagine that’s what you’re suggesting because I don’t see how that makes sense here. I’m confused. Halp.

The diagnosis today of “mental retardation” is a misdiagnosis because it is no longer an accepted medical term.

Yes. But at the time it was on the euphemism treadmill, it was. And that’s the point being made.
