They already censor her critics. They censor a lot of people.
I feel bad for her being used by her greedy liberal parents. Imagine using your own retarded daughter to get leftwing handouts? Imagine being the leftwing politicians using that retarded girl to push a taxation scheme?

I'm pretty sure she is autistic, not retarded.

Retarded is a general term that means "less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age."
It fits

So I guess you are retarded by your own definition. Sympathy.

It has a strong connotation of having less intelligence, however, and people on the spectrum are often not impaired in that, and sometimes are even more intelligent than average. It is also rather insulting to autistic people because it also has a very strong negative connotation in general.

None of this made any sense to me

Basically, the word "retarded" has very negative connotations and it can be offensive to use it, especially when other words fit better.

Words only have negative connotations if you view them that way. Perhaps you should stop being wordist

Good point, and I do like the word "wordist". Even so, "retarded" also has a connotation of having less intelligence in areas where autistic people are no less intelligent, and sometimes even more intelligent, than others, and also implies it as a complete disability rather than a difference that is at odds with current society. Using words like "retarded" could also create a bad impression that could make it even harder for us on the autistic spectrum to get jobs (and similar) than it already is, though I do believe more in independent work than jobs anyway.
