Add some notes to the ablist file

[agans]

I used the National Center on Disability and Journalism's style guide recommendations to add some additional notes for the ableism script. (http://ncdj.org/style-guide/)

in response to this issue in the alex repo: get-alex/alex#219

-I used the sentence "Only use terms describing mental illness when referring to a professionally diagnosed medical condition." to try to reflect the idea that we shouldn't be using medical terms as an insults or pejorative descriptors.

-I separated out the suggestions on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, it didn't seem quite right to suggest that "schizophrenic" could be replaced by "person with bipolar disorder" for example.

-I added a note that addiction is considered a disease, to underscore that it is not to be discussed in a pejorative sense.

-I added notes clarifying why not to use language like "suffering from"

Wow thank you so much @agans! This is amazing. One Q though, that may be a typo?

[wooorm]

Should this change be here or is it a typo? Is “sabled people” a thing? 🤔

[agans]

@wooorm Thanks for the great catch on that typo! Fixed it (and found another). Let me know if you see anything else.

I will take a look at some of the other scripts and see if I can do some research + add some notes for those as well. Would also love to dig more into the project and contribute to the code - if there is anything you know of that is needed or could suggest I look into that would be great.

Awesome, this is great work @agans. They are super useful addition! And congrats on landing your first contribution here 🎉

For your question, the condition’s proposed in get-alex/alex#210 also need some code changes. It’s not very easy though, but maybe you’d like to try it out! 💪
