Happens to me all the time I think I was born normally

Some of the posters around here were definitely born that way.

One can become retarded after a hard hit to the head or significant use of drugs/alcohol or both.

Trump managed to become retarded

sorry if i insulted the retards

An IQ score of less than 70 to 75 is generally considered the threshold for a diagnosis of intellectual disability (previously termed mental retardation)
We're surrounded by more than you think in our daily lives.

In 1973, the threshold for diagnosing was lowered from an IQ of 85 to 70, which significantly reduced the number of individuals classified.
The change was aimed to address social prejudices and improve access to educational services for those with greater intellectual disabilities.

I'd like to change it back to 85

The reality is that it has not changed from 85.
The classification of it did for social and monetary factors.

As you stated,

"Don't feel bad" factors.
