The latest PC term I heard was “spectrum kids.” A friend of mine who is a music teacher was asked by the mother of an autistic child if she had “experience with spectrum kids.”

I believe that refers specifically to kids on the “autism spectrum,” which does not necessarily have anything to do with retardation.

But it is tough keeping up with the euphemisms.
