I'd say that the "deviance" in pedophilia again originates from the exploitation of the unprotected and innocent, just as it does when someone takes advantage of a mentally retarded person. Someone who purposefully and knowingly derives pleasure from the opportunistic aspect of sex with someone with disabilities has more of a personality disorder than a sexual one, because in my eyes the sexual act is just the manifestation of these desires for power and dominance. If, however, the mental retardation does not interfere with the pleasure or consent of the disabled, then the issue is moot. As long as both sides are entering into the act with a mutual understanding of the consequences and motivations for said act, then there is really no problem with the act.
So yeah, not that this has anything to do with the thread
