Is it derogatory use the term disabled? In my opinion no.
When did the disabled began to take this word as an insult?
After seeing how they have been calling over time laugh, and make one think.
First they said they were not disabled, who were disabled (that are worth less, which is inherently more derogatory, in physiological terms but very true).
Then they were no longer disabled, who were disabled (incapaces. know several people who are disabled despite enjoying perfect health and all his limbs). Something that ultimately does not like it, because many of them still felt able to start doing things for their condition, they should not do.
Then they were no longer disabled, they now had "different abilities". The hell, we all have different abilities and unique, why give them the title to them?
Now, why writing this not because he is for or against them, or because the respect or compassion, there is a simple observation. When did you became disabled bad word?
The same goes for the SD (Mongol), "special abilities?, What use telekinesis or have superpowers?. Like they are imposing a title that is not exclusive to them. I have a friend with the special ability to drink 1 liter of beer in a very short time.
And what I say of old? ... "Father?", "Elderly?, How the elderly? ...
The words were not intended as derogatory should not be considered as such, that only temporarily disguises-unwanted-reality, until the new word that masks also become derogatory.
I do not like being called chubby, but not demand that I say "overweight" or crap like that.
