* They know they are different from other people and they know the names that are put on that differentness. * Many people have very different learning needs. Therefore, people who need extra support need it for very different reasons. Because of this it is senseless to categorise people as 'retarded.' I don't know if the way the term is perceived is different from country to country but in the UK it would be highly offensive.
