'Little Person' is probably the safest term to use. I, however, call myself (and preferred to be called) a dwarf. It seems that this is more common in my generation (20 somethings) than the older generations, though this is of course a gross generalization. I think it's a backlash against vocabulary that is seen as 'overly PC'.

Note: often Little Person (and yes, it's usually capitalized) is shortened to LP.
