I'm not certain that "handicapped" is a good description but Piggy does wear thick glasses and he is very fat (to quote from the book). He also suffers from Asthma and a certain reluctance towards doing work. All of these things combine to handicap Piggy by impossing physical limitations on what he can do. Piggy's thought processes and decision are also rather rigid and he finds difficulty adapting to new ideas. He indicated this by his shout of "Nuts!" In reply to Simon's suggestion that the beast might be "Just us."
