I have cerebral palsy. People with cerebral palsy. People with
impairments.
Disability is not impairment. Disability is like racism, sexism
Please, give me a wall to bang my head on!
Are you an autoed person? An jobed person? An wifed person? An
interneted person?
Many Thanks, Simon

While I appreciate his passion and honor his insistence on being called
a disabled person, if that is what he wishes, I can only wonder why he
can say "people with impairments" rather than (logically) "impaired
people."????
