Exactly, which is why i never say "you're retarded" or "you're a cripple." it's sort of like saying "that's gay".

I make fun of all the disabled kids I work with. Although my acerbic sarcasm often backfires when directed at people with autism. You just can't win in that arena, not a good idea.

A lot of the time when people make fun of others with disabilities it is down to ignorance. People who don't understand why someone else behaves the way they do may very well make fun of them to feel less awkward themselves.

People used to mock me because I couldn't spell well but I had a spelling disability. I beleive it's called dysgraphia. I just recently learned the name for it.

I'm slightly disabled and everyone used to pick on me and I didn't realize they were being jerks! Now I know better than to make fun of someone like that

I know what it's like to be in a wheelchair all day. It sucks. It pisses me off when people ignore me because they don't know how to communicate with me,. There's nothing wrong with my brain, if they spoke to me they would know that.
