Living without the modern browser

i agree and is a very neutral term for a wide range of disabilities. now cripple would have some negative connotations to it.

though i suppose context and use of any term could be used to degrade especially something like this which does point to capabilities but because of a condition and specific to the disability.

I wouldn't describe it as neutral at all.

i would not put it in that category but i did address how it could be construed.

how would you describe the term handicap in the form of a lack in capability specific to the disability?
