The Deaf community overwhelmingly prefers identity first language (i.e. Deaf person). Many Deaf people do not consider themselves to be disabled and reject the term hearing impaired.
Similarly, many autistic people prefer identity first language and some autistic individuals identify as neurodiverse / neurodivergent not disabled.
Identity first language is becoming more and more popular in the disability community as a whole. Recent studies have shown that disability pride and disability self identification mitigate the effects of stigma and are correlated with higher self esteem, life satisfaction, and self advocacy.
I personally prefer people refer to me as disabled or a disabled person rather than saying a person with a disability but that's just me. Disabled isn't a bad word
I prefer person with a disability because when i hear someone say disabled person it makes it look my disability is something negative when its not
Treat others in the way that you want to be treated, simple as that.

Awareness of CKD is highly important. When I informed my x manager at work in a Rotherham labour council children's home that I had to start dialysis within 2 weeks he made me walk through the home singing dead man walking and laughing. He got all the children and other staff to laugh at me before getting me in the office and threatening me with the sack and asking if I'm a liar. He then proceeded to phone me or my dialysis unit every dialysis session for 3 weeks demanding I prove I was on a machine or be sacked.
I tried to make a complaint but was told ' you have had one dialysis session. You must be cured. Why do you need more dialysis and why can't you work full time. We have no qualified staff' Then more threats of being sacked if I didn't stop attending dialysis.
Horrible horrible experience...
Great video for awareness. I am a stroke survivor but am treated as something less than normal.
as someone in a wheelchair i don't mind when they crouch because it makes it easy for me not to have a neck strain from looking at them
How do you treat a person with a disability? How about ummm like a PERSON
Exactly. Like it's hard????
What is wrong with good old plain English? No matter what the circumstance.
Just a suggestion; I feel that it is more to do with height, or lack of, (as is the height of a youngster?) that 'others' associate w/c users with.
From an accident, initially I used crutches for short distances, and then w/c (until a botched op made things go south)
Sadly, I am now a permanent w/c user; hence the above thought.
Would love to hear other(s) opinions.
Be lucky.
i am in a wheelchair and have always called myself a cripple . I have never been very PC so thats probably why . lot of snowflakes about nowadays .
It's more about the perception that language creates. We don't want a person to be defined by their disability. For example there is a difference in saying "handicapped person" and "a person who is handicapped". I genuinely believe I would feel the same as you if I had a disability; I would never get offended. But I'm more concerned about people's perceptions. We don't want to define a person based on their disability.
