The 'r' world is not in our household vocabulary. I grew up in the 80s as an elementary school student, and I remember that it was a word used incessantly in name-calling at school, and I never knew the origin of it. I didn't see it as a connection with autism. I had no idea where it came from.

My daughter is high functioning autistic... you wouldn't even know because she doesn't have behavior issues... but she's pretty much nonverbal.... so when you go to talk to her and she doesn't say anything back.... that's when people start to be so rude! I am glad to hear your son isn't having issues in school.... that's my biggest fear for my own kiddo... when she goes into elementary school and is in a normal classroom and not her 2:1 class where all the kids are like her...
