Well, in the book, the lead character's child was actually a boy and he was indeednot going to say the word you used, but whatever the politically correct version of it is these day. Special? I honestly don't know, I don't think the boy had Down's syndrome, I think he was just severely learning disabled.

If he meant "retard" as in "somebody who suffers from a mental or physical retardation" then yes I believe that is the right word, though perhaps not the most polite. Handicapped is a nicer way to put it as somebody said but lets not all be afraid of the word. Political correctness is a beast already grown too strong.
