That title is hilarious considering the meaning of the words 'special kid' in English language.

@Genoard Is it like snowflake, a neutral word that became offensive due to a shift in the context of use?

Most likely. I don't know how it actually came to be, but I believe with 'special kid' the original intent was the opposite - for it to be a non-offensive alternative term to use when referring to such children.

@Genoard So now it won't even work as a non-offensive term and will immediately be taken as implied mocking?

50/50, I'd guess.

@Genoard Well, I remember one movie where the MC was a weird kid to say the least, and when one of the teachers wants to criticize the teacher who works with him, saying "hey, why are you spending so much time on this...special child", she instantly takes it as humiliation of the protagonist.
