The 'lumpophobia' I have encountered is usually
directed at the mentally retarded. Most disabled
people I know don't even stop to consider the
mentally ill as disabled, which annoys me since I
make that connexion.

I know quite a lot since my pre-school years,
but I dislike 'disabledism' (i.e. disabled people's
assortative socializing and mating) every bit as much
as 'abledism'. In fact I see both as the same thing.
