It's not about being PC, it's about having respect for people. My aunt is mentally challenged. If someone called her sped and then shrugged and said they had a right to say whatever they wanted, I'd be extremely pissed off.
Respect everyone. You, a family member, your children, anyone can end up special needs. You'll want them to be treated with respect if they do. And you'll want an apology when someone steps out of line.
