Give it a name, like for example autism, and the target audience, which in this case are young kids, might think everyone with autism is either a retard or an antisocial super-genius. And that is not something you want children to think after watching a TV-show.

*coughCOUGH* don't think they(the rangers you pointed out) have autism
Dax.....is ether an airhead, or Autism diagnosed. I know, but its hard to tell with the bad acting of OO.
Gem and Gemma are implied to be insane. Even before Venjex.
I have Autism, and even I'm not the level of smarts Dr K is! She is a Child Prodigy, don't ever mix those up.

Explain it well enough and they might not.
