The medical term for idiot was someone with a profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years (nobody talk about babies, please

), and generally being unable to learn the abilities of speech or guard against common dangers.
I'm not sure if this classification system is used anymore, and the term 'idiot' is probably considered offensive, even to patients with this kind of mental disorder
