    @Zou la 第一个词语在任何时候都不应该使用！

    @tian xin Handicapped doesn't show any respect at all and using this may easily offend others.

    第一个词语在任何时候都不应该使用！ In that case, how did the word come into being in the first place? The purpose of it existing is not to be used?

    The vocabulary is always changing.

    Does it sound like 残废 in Chinese? If you can understand the meaning of 残废

    Why we can’t use “a disabled person” or “the disabled”? Thanks

    @小黄冲冲冲Ying They used to be acceptable. But now people tend to avoid using them because "disabled people", compared with "abled", suggests that all people with disabilities lack "abled bodies" or the ability to use their bodies well.
