Aaaah! What a fantastic way to start the year. I never nominate myself for these things (I know I know), and it's super special coming from an org that I care about so much. Great reminder to put your name out there and ask for those letters of support.
Big thanks to AAIDD and my mentors.

Are you familiar with AAIDD? The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities?
"in 1905, they led the field in establishing the definition and diagnostic criteria for intellectual disability to reflect the changes in research and understanding of the condition."

"Mental Retardation" did finally fade as AAMR became AAIDD, which had more complex reasons for renaming their storied institution. I do think people have to be careful about assuming it was always or even recently not in use professionally. It absolutely was, and for good reason.
