I can tell you from personal experience as a person with a physical disability that it's still very much a stigma.

It's also very much possible for something to be both a stigma and an identity. In fact, the stigmatization can make the identity stronger.

Well, some kinds of disability still are a stigma, but here on HN neurodiversity/autism is celebrated as some kind of superpower, basically.
