 Etymology:  Formed by removing the prefix dis- from disabled.
              History and Usage:  The word abled arose in the US; it has been
              used by the disabled to refer to the able-bodied since about the
              beginning of the eighties, and is also now so used in the UK.
              The euphemistic phrases differently abled, otherly abled, and
              uniquely abled were coined in the mid eighties, again in the US,
              as part of an attempt to find a more positive official term than
              handicapped (the official term in the US) or disabled (the
              preferred term in the UK during the eighties). Another similarly
              euphemistic coinage intended to serve the same purpose was
              challenged.  Differently abled has enjoyed some success in the
              US, but all of the forms with a preceding adverb have come in
              for considerable criticism.
                  Disabled, handicapped, differently-abled, physically or
                  mentally challenged, women with disabilities--this is
                  more than a mere discourse in semantics and a matter of
                  personal preference.
                  Debra Connors in With the Power of Each Breath (1985),
                  p. 92
                  In a valiant effort to find a kinder term than
                  handicapped, the Democratic National Committee has
                  coined differently abled. The committee itself shows
                  signs of being differently abled in the use of English.
                  Los Angeles Times 9 Apr. 1985, section 5, p. 1
                  I was aware of how truly frustrating it must be to be
                  disabled, having to deal not only with your disability,
                  but with abled people's utter disregard for your needs.
                  San Francisco Chronicle 4 July 1990, Briefing section,
                  p. 7
    ableism   noun Also written ablism (People and Society)
              Discrimination in favour of the able-bodied; the attitude or
              assumption that it is only necessary to cater for able-bodied              people.
              Etymology:  Formed by adding the suffix -ism (as in ageism,
              racism, and sexism) to the adjective able in the sense in which
              it is used in able-bodied.
              History and Usage:  This is one of a long line of -isms which
              became popular in the eighties to describe various forms of
              perceived discrimination: see also fattism and heterosexism.
              Ableism was a term first used by feminists in the US at the
              beginning of the eighties; in the UK, the concept was first
              referred to as able-bodism in a GLC report in 1984 and was later
              also called able-bodiedism. However, ableism was the form chosen
              by the Council of the London borough of Haringey for a press
              release in 1986, and it is this form which has continued to be
              used, despite the fact that it is thought by some to be badly
              formed (the suffix -ism would normally be added to a noun stem
              rather than an adjective).  The spelling ableism is preferred to
              ablism, which some people might be tempted to pronounce /--/.
              In practice, none of the forms has been widely used, although
              society's awareness of disability was raised during the
              International Year of Disabled Persons in 1981. The adjective
              corresponding to this noun is ableist, but its use is almost
              entirely limited to US feminist writing.  For an adjective which
              describes the same characteristics from the opposite viewpoint,
              see disablist.
                  A GLC report...referred throughout to a new phenomenon
                  called mysteriously 'able-bodism'--a reference
                  apparently to that malevolent majority, the fully-fit.
                  Daily Telegraph 1 Nov. 1984, p. 18
                  Able-ist movements of the late-nineteenth and early
                  twentieth centuries regarded disability as problematic
                  for society.
                  Debra Connors in With the Power of Each Breath (1985),
                  p. 99
                  I was at the national convention of the National
                  Organization for Women. I consider myself a
                  feminist...but I'm...embarrassed by the hysteria, the  gaping maws in their reasoning and the    tortuous twists
                  of femspeak. Who else can crowd the terms 'ableism,
                  homophobia and sexism' into one clause without heeding
                  the shrillness of tone?
                  San Francisco Chronicle 4 July 1990, section A, p. 19
