In the third episode of this series, I discuss a much needed conversation about condition related terminology, its use within the English language, whether through insults, nicknames or slurs and how this can directly impact and offend individuals with a disability.

I explore different words that might be less commonly known being derived from offensive terms, look into three different conditions that are constantly labeled inappropriately, and show you some key responses from disability activists regarding their opinions on the conversation matter.
