adj. [Politically correct] 1990s euphemism meaning "disabled". Contrary to what the words may suggest, "differently abled" does NOT mean "having different abilities;" more precisely it means "lacking expected abilities." Since [mental disability] is generally associated with much more social stigma than physical disability (and hence is ripe for being described by a "sensitive" PC [vocabulary]), "differently abled" is most frequently encountered in similar contexts as "special". With this in mind, persons of non-retarded status should construe the phrase as a deep insult.
