Although I understand that they may call themselves "Parkies", I do not agree that it is an affectionate term. I know people with SCI who call themselves quads or paras, and I just feel more comfortable and professional calling them people with SCI. If someone actually told me to call them that, I might, but so far, they haven't. These folks are adults and are people first, their disease is just one part of them.
There is another two cents from me! I feel strongly about treating people with respect because that is how I want to be treated. Thanks for writing back.
