Ableism - Collins dictionary has -

"discrimination against disabled people"
Ableism is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities
OED Online has a fuller entry & cites 1981 as the first appearance of "ableism" -

"Discrimination in favour of able-bodied people; prejudice against or disregard of the needs of disabled people."
