what keeps happening to my clothes

Also my older brother had a cognitive deficit when he was born, hydrocephalus, after having a stroke in utero. Mentally aged 9 when he died at 40, worked at goodwill, the whole thing. The term never offended me.

I think a large amount of the damage the word can do is to those who it is directed toward, so I don't think it is particularly meaningful that you didn't mind people using it about your brother.
