That's funny we went the opposite way in France, "invalid" in the past, now "handicapped".

- drivingmenuts 3y agoI have heard the term "differently abled" kicked around, which completely buries the actual issue. As a "differently abled" person, I will say I don't need to go hiding my handicap, I'd much rather someone figure out to help me adapt better or just fix it, rather than hiding it. I know I have a problem, I have it all day every day. Why are people who don't have my problems so concerned about just saying it out loud?

- addcommitpush 3y agoYou're late. It's en situation de handicap now, not invalide or handicapé. See for instance https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F31029 https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F31029
