I'm disabled, too. I wasn't bullied directly, but a friend of mine got bullied out of class. I've been accepted very well, but they didn't seem to accept a friendship with me.

i teach young disabled kids and you know what? they are the most respectful kindest kids i’ve ever taught compared to community classrooms. there’s NO bullying. there’s no arguing with adults. there’s no entitlement issues. it’s been an absolute pleasure and i think more abled kids have a lot to learn from THEM!
Bless your heart.
Thank you for sharing a realistic perspective

@questionWeaver in most cases, children are more accepting of people who are disabled/different. It’s the adults around them that sway them in certain directions. Or give them situations to which they feel the need to take it out on others.
I’m a Momma, too, and I can’t tell you how many looks or “oh dears” I received when I was pregnant.
I get comments almost all the time when I’m out with my kid. Now, I can walk, but I walk with a limp and my arm seems to have a mind of its own.
Sadly, I’m afraid that my kid is going to be bullied because of me. That’s the society we live in!

I'm sure you do.
Most of us move along.
Least you have a limp.

@sighmeupforthat there are other complications. I’m in pain a lot, too, so I’ve been known to sit in a wheelchair
