Impairment and never never forget this is an oppresive term, it is a term of
judgement and comparison, it is a measure against a supposed (but none
existant) paradigm of normality and societally supposed perfection.
Those who think they have (twenty and past years ago) made a new model by
merely transposing words in one particular language (ignoring what language
is) have done no service to us.
We are not less than anybody else and to use the word impairment implies
that we fall short.
Woe to those who perpetuate the infamy !!!!!!!!
