I'm quadriplegic and I really think it is entirely context-based. If we were to meet in a bar is my wheelchair or the fact that I'm quadriplegic relevant? Of course not. In which case you'd just call me by my name.

The only time the fact that I'm quadriplegic to should become an issue is when it alters some plan, building, or some accommodation needs to be made to factored in to allow me to participate in the world. And in which case the questions should almost always be logistical, so for me the word disabled should really never come up.

For instance if we were going to a bar we would just make sure we went to one that had level access, problem solved and you haven't had to call me anything other than my name.

I have a small break in my neck, in all other respects I'm just like you and expected to be treated as such. Sorry these aren't more string together and coherent thoughts, I'm just thinking about it the first time properly!
