<upd_detl>no, this corresponds exactly to the former technical term 'idiot'.  as the [sens] suggests, it is now used equivalently to the english 'retard'.  it's banned on NHK, so 'airhead' is definitely not strong enough</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>meikyo, etc: もと、医学上の分類で、知的障害の最重度のものをいった語。言語の習得が不完全で、日常生活のすべてに介助を必要とする。

<upd_detl>this feels more [derog] than [sens]
it seems like the "mental retardation" is a separate and dated sense (sankoku, meikyo, etc.)</upd_detl>
