1. spastic

   Spastic refers to a condition characterized by muscle stiffness, spasms or uncontrollable movements, typically a result of damage to nerve pathways within the brain or spinal cord. The term is often used to describe certain types of cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. However, it's important to note that using this term as an insult or derogatory term to describe people with these conditions is considered disrespectful and offensive.

1. Spastic

   The word spastic is used differently depending on location, which has led to some controversy and misunderstanding. Derived via Latin from the Greek spastikos, the word originally referred to a change in muscles affected by the medical condition spasticity, which is seen in spastic diplegia and many other forms of cerebral palsy and in terms such as "spastic colon", with no negative connotation, as it is accurately descriptive of the condition. In India the word "spastic" is also used neutrally, with The Spastics Society of India non-profit and non-governmental organization, working for neuro-muscular and developmental disabilities. The word in common speech can also be used in a pejorative context. The level of severity depends on whether one understands it as it is used in the United States or the United Kingdom. In the UK it is considered an offensive way to refer to disabled people.
