Ableism

Ableism /ˈeɪblɪzəm/ (ablism or disability discrimination) is the privileging of able-bodiedness, resulting in discrimination or social prejudice against people with disabilities. Ableism characterizes persons as defined by their disabilities, and as inferior to the non disabled. Discrimination faced by those who have or are perceived to have a mental disorder is sometimes called mentalism rather than ableism.
