Thanks for making this Gabe, even as a person with ability limitations, I never thought of the way others refer to me :) the way I look at it "disability" does not mean inability! Because I've never thought of it, safe to say I'm alright with either. Take care, John
Gabe, I choose the term Person w/Disability. It separates the person from their disability. When “disabled person” is used, to me it sounds as if the whole person is disabled, everything about them. That isn’t so. Just my thought.

Thanks for sharing your insight. It’s important to share whatever term is most comfortable for you.
