From "The Urban Dictionary", there are 10 definitions of the word Spazz;  As I read them, none can be interpreted as positive, especially by people with disabilities.
 
Here's a link to those definitions:

Subject: Re: Spazz Wheelchair



Funny name for a wheelchair.

When I was a teenager, "spaz" was the shortened form of "spastic."  We meant
someone who moved clumsily or acted goofy.  If you said someone "spazzed out,"
it meant they lost control of themselves.  As it caught on, one could be
called a "spaz" for just about anything that wasn't "cool."   In retrospect, that
was a rather negative term to use, but teenagers are rather negative beings,
you know?

Anybody know who was in charge of cool? :-)
