Say hello to the sunrise for me...
I use it medically and I've also substituted other terms as well such as "Cognitive deficit" and MR (Which means mental retardation, though in school some instructors said not to use this so even "MR" isn't correct? Well school is not the real world.)

I can also use it in regular, professional, conversation when not referring to a person but the pronouncing changes and it changes to a verb.

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.
