♿️ Disability 101: What is a "disabled" identity?

Hello! Thank you everyone for watching this week's video! This video is not a how-to talk to people with disabilities guide. Instead, it is a dictionary to explain what certain words mean so that when you have a conversation with a person with a disability you have context! If you have any other questions please leave them bellow!

Just a clarification of fact: The ADA was signed into law in *1990* -- it just didn't go into effect until January 1, 1991.
I also remember the push for the use of Person-first language; it was a reaction to doctors and other clinicians ("experts") habitually saying: "And here is a cerebral palsy," or "John is our Downs Syndrome," etc. 🤦🏽‍♀ It was definitely needed, back in the day. Now, when I hear person-first language, it makes me cringe a little inside. It sounds a bit like "Person with blackness" instead of a Black person. There's also nuance with this, depending on which specific community you're interacting with. Nearly every autistic person I've met prefers identity-first language, for example.
