When I was young we used to use the word disabled in India, then came the media with this "Special"/"Differently Abled" word which I think came from US. Now again we are back to normal. Hope going ahead in future those who invent and market these words take a sample size across the world (not just US) among the people who belong to both abled and disabled and reach a consensus which word will be used otherwise people will get confused already in a world loaded with information and fights on the drop of a hat on the internet.
