Let's Talk Offensive Disablist Language!

​Attached you can find the full document of offensive disablist language!  In the document it has outlined all the words with origins.  I found it very helpful and interesting to read where the words were from and how they became slang for disabled people.

I dated a guy once who used some of these terms... and while I could feel it was wrong, sometimes I didn't know how to defend it or explain it to someone who isn't disabled.  I think this document helped me understand my discomfort of others using disablist language.

​Enjoy :)
