[quote=Anonymous]It's a problem when kids ask each other "Are you sped?" or say stuff like "That's so sped" or "[insert name here] is so sped". In those cases the term is used as an insult. It's become a substitute for the r-word which is not used much anymore in teen vocabulary. In a professional setting, people write "SPED" as an abbreviation for "special education". I am a special education teacher and would never use the word "sped" as a descriptive for an individual person.[/quote]
