Has "disabled" really become taboo? I'm autistic and pretty much everyone I know in the community uses disability terminology and find it insulting when people uses euphamisms like "differently abled". "Disabled" hasn't been turned into an insult like the r-word has, and it's usefully descriptive of the problems disabled people face, especially when you're including the social model of disability where how society is built is at the root of many of the things that cause people with certain conditions to be "disabled."

Same. I do think it is seen as an insult in some communities, mostly those of people who are adjacent to disabled people but are not themselves disabled (in particular, families and caregivers).
