What does "retire the phone number" mean?

  Prevent its reuse. Like when a sports team retires a player number or United never having a Flight 93 again.

        You may be on the spectrum (as am I), but explicitly calling out autistics doesn't make for a very good implication

      Maybe their directory-published "telephone number" - presumably they only had one of those.

      It was a long, long time ago, but I seem to recall a 1-800 if you were on the road somewhere.
