It’s Perfectly OK To Call A Disabled Person ‘Disabled,’ And Here's Why | HuffPost Life
Here is the article. I regret that it is more about the actual term disabled and disability and I should have highlighted that in my op. I should also mention that I feel person first language is the most respectful when it comes to addressing or identifying someone with a disability or condition. It’s hard to take offense by this way of doing things even if you are against person first language. But you can’t really offend someone by using it vs offending them by calling them by their condition or disorder /disability. Someone here I think it was @seesaw said they weren’t trying to debate this and I’m not either. But I am interested in a discussion about it from both viewpoints. I still think I need to understand both sides and welcome respectful engagement.
