I often head CDC related to Mental Retardation but i never understood what it stood for. I often heard my friends said it stand for "Crazy Dumb Children" which I really doubt. So please enlighten me.

CDC stands for the Center of Disease Control (and Prevention). I could not find any acronym pretaining to mental retardation from all the places I checked to make sure there were no other abbreviations as such. It may stand for something else in your area, but overall, CDC, often, "The CDC" stands for the above.

In this case, it is probably an acronym for something, other than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (so why don't we call it the CDCP?), in Atlanta, GA.
You need to know who is using it. I cannot find any medical term related to mental retardation which uses this acronym.
