“The terms idiot, imbecile, moron, and their derivatives were formerly used as technical descriptors in medical, educational, and regulatory contexts. These uses were broadly rejected by the close of the 20th century and are now considered offensive.”

I am wondering what the offensive term was instead back when idiot was the proper technical descriptor?
