I'm not sure it's okay to call anyone "spastic" because the term has so much negative baggage and eg people with cerebral palsy do not deserve that. I'd check with any given person whether they think it's appropriate for them. Sort of like, a lot of disabled people self-describe as "crip" or "crippled" but I wouldn't use it about them without checking first.
