Using "autistic" as a derogatory term; please don't

So, here's what I'll do. From this post on, I want genuine responses to this. How do you feel about a Global (Sitewide) restriction on words like these? This is simply to know where many of you stand.

I'm not a fan of blocking words outright, but I can't think of a single time where I would condone using it in a negative context. I mean come on...surely the English language is diverse enough that we don't need to be double-dipping on mental conditions to insult people. Outside of its intended use, I've only seen "autistic" used in the same context as "retarded"...and I really don't see why anyone would want to reserve that right. Freedom of speech shouldn't imply freedom to be an asshole, and surely a little empathy isn't so hard to grasp.

Overall, I'd say context is key, like usual, but I just can't imagine someone calling another user or individual "autistic" negatively and not supporting moderation on it.
