Disablism

=Disablism (Ablism)=

These terms are almost interchangeable. Some people say "disablism" and some say "ablism" to mean the discrimination (by "Normies") against people who have disabilities.

It is sometimes difficult for Normies to realize that their unexamined attitudes and beliefs result in prejudice and discrimination. For many people with disabilities, the disability does not come from the impairment; the disability is caused by social attitudes and the built environment. Universal Design is a way of thinking about product and architectural design in a way that maximizes accessibility for people with a wide range of abilities.
