I'm physically disabled. And through the years growing up, I have heard the word go from crippled, handicapped, and now to physically disabled. I mean, if you say crippled now a days, you are frowned upon. What we need to remember is words, phrases, descriptions are always changing to fit the lifestyle that we are currently leading. Don't let words hurt is all Im trying to say
I don't know that any one person could answer what the "proper" word to use would be. Seems that is a matter of opinion....and in today's politically correct society...someone is liable to be offended. That of course..is mho.
