When I say crip, and I'm very conscious of it being a reclaimed slur with specific constraints on acceptable usage, and I know that there are people who don't like it, I mean all disabled people.
I might be most voluble about being physically disabled, but I'm also invisibly disabled, neurodiverse, and I just had to see my GP and say my anxiety is out of control. I'd be stupid to use crip and have it mean just physically disabled, because my own disabilities are so much wider than that.
