It is not advisable to make fun of anyone, including your friend with a physical disability. Making fun of people with physical disabilities can be harmful and be seen as offensive or disrespectful. Instead of making jokes at their expense, focus on appreciating them for the incredible person that they are.

Humor can be used to mock people with physical disabilities by pointing out the difficulties they have, particularly with everyday activities. A good example might be to comment that they would have difficulty reaching the highest shelf in a store or completing a physically demanding task at work. Other humor tactics can include exaggerating how slow or uncoordinated someone with a physical disability is, comparing them unfavorably to others without their type of disability, and trying to act as though you are making an inclusive statement when it is clearly targeted at their disability.
