This is a good read (found via a comment by @nicoleckohler on one of my LinkedIn posts)

"If someone feels like labeling me as ‘disabled’ makes me less of a person in some way, that’s really saying a lot about them, isn’t it?”

It’s Perfectly OK To Call A Disabled Person 'Disabled,' And Here's Why

We've been taught to refer to people with disabilities using person-first language, but that might be doing more harm than good.

Other people might actually prefer person-first language (i.e., person with a disability vs. disabled person) and others might prefer identity-first language (i.e., disabled person vs person with a disability).

Listen for signals. Listen for language. Be respectful.

"Lastly, don’t assume this is simply a matter of semantics and disregard someone’s preference. You might have been taught that certain phrasing was more respectful, but if disabled people tell you they prefer identity-first language, listen to them."
