Nah I was in a pretty small town, semi-rural but not buttfuck-nowhere either.

It certainly wasn't labelled "ableist" then, it was simply "being a little shit" - I only really learned of the term ableism around 10-15 years ago.

Same, but in a suburban area (suburb of major metro). Never heard of "ablism" until I found leftist communities like this online, and I grew up in a left leaning area. I don't think I've ever heard the term in person, and I have kids about OP's claimed age.

I went to catholic schools in a right leaning area, but while the term wasn't used we did have to watch an in school video in which people with downs syndrome talked about how that word made them feel like shit and had to learn how to treat other disabled people. I think it worked because people only ever picked on me for being a loser, not for being hard of hearing.

That's pretty wholesome. Kids can be brutal, sorry you were picked on anyway.
