Hey,
Don’t mean to be rude, but what’s wrong with epileptics? Is that wrong? What should we say instead? Should it be “person with epilepsy” or “has epileptic espisodes” or what. (I’m a journalist so I’d like to know!)
Thanks!
Not rude at all Kaz! Most journos I’ve come across don’t ask at all 🙂 I suppose you say that someone “has epilepsy”.
I spoke to someone recently who described “epileptic” as being in the same category as “spastic” – just old hat…
