Abstract
The evolution of terminology related to neurodevelopmental disorders is primarily determined by the need for destigmatization and includes three stages. The ethical unacceptability of the concept of oligophrenia with the identification of its three forms (debility, imbecility and idiocy) became apparent in the second half of the XX century, which led to the adoption of a new term — mental retardation, which was replaced in the DSM-V and ICD-11 by the concept of intellectual disability, and for the first time in the history of medicine, the reason for changes in American and global professional terminology was a special Federal law 111-256, which also received the official synonym “Rosa’s Law”, which can be considered a symbol of destigmatization in psychiatry.
