THE TERM "PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES" WILL BE OUTDATED SOON

Yes, we are not perfect, and it is good that we agree we are not perfect. I have read several books where they moderate the words from time to time to suit ourselves in society.

We still don't know how the word called disability came about to label us and make us all accept the term graciously. Because each time I check the meaning of all those terms in the dictionary, it pisses me off, in the dictionary "disability" is defined as physically or mentally impaired, injured, or incapacitated, 2. physically or mentally impaired persons. Please, who are they referring to? When its called persons with disabilities? People in wheelchairs? Blind people? Or Deaf people? It sounds abnormal and irritating after checking for the meaning of “disability”. Even if we check synonyms of disability, it is called disorder, ailment, dysfunction, and so on.

Sooner or later, I will disassociate myself from those labels forever. The new word that is acceptable to every person with any form of disability is "DIFFERENTLY ABLED.".
