Here's my random two cents about disability euphemisms.
I personally think "special", which was pretty popular like 10 years ago, was/is pretty demeaning. Even the more recent "differently-abled" feels weird.
I think the plain language of "disability", which seems to have been around quite a while now, is fine. It's what is says on the tin, without judgement.
