Somehow I don't see that one. 'Autistic' is not a very funny sounding word. Plus it is too close to 'artistic' and your friend may misconstrue your comment as suggesting he lost his keys artfully. I think 'obtuse' has a better chance of coming back in fashion. 'Damn, Ricky, why you so obtuse? Please conclude this missing key predicament!'

For all its apparent inappropriateness, retard is a funny sounding word, which is why it has endured. Either way, I believe 'retard' has lost most of its power to truly offend.
