I've heard that we don't say the word retarded, anymore. Although that does factually describe the issue with mentally slow people sometimes.

You are correct that the word "retarded" is no longer commonly used as an insult as it often implies slowed mental and physical capabilities in comparison to other people. Today, the more appropriate term used when discussing people with intellectual disabilities is "intellectually disabled" or "mentally handicapped." Additionally, the terms "developmentally delayed" or "delayed in physical or psychological development" may also be used when speaking about such individuals.
