I'm disabled, been all my life. One thing I hate is people feeling sorry for me. If I struggle with something, it is ok. Stares don't bother me as I'm used to them. Just don't give me that poor woman look.

Actually people look because they see someone diff. I have seen ppl look at others in wheelchairs - but they dont have a pity look on their faces. I guess you always have to put up a I am happy look so ppl will be at ease right ?
