Differently abled is OK. Learning differences or special needs also works. Disabilities I think is still OK.
I'm kind of on board with getting away from retarded and disabled.
- matt-attack 4y agoI literally recall "differently abled" as being the punch line to a joke (Simpsons perhaps?). A character put his foot in his mouth, and tried to back-pedal and sort of ad-hoc formulated the phrase "differently abled" as a way to sound more PC and sensitive. It was quite literally supposed a joke at the time.
