You couldn't have come up with something else without demeaning and hurting people with special needs. I just don't think it's okay to take away people's dignity with a casual remark. You probably will say that you didn't say anything directly to a person living with special needs. As if that makes it alright. People living with mental retardation didn't ask to be born that way. But they do deserve respect, a point you might have missed. Maybe you didn't realize how much your comment hurts people with special needs and their families. But now you do.
