I have no idea what to think because I've never met a little person.
My only experience of them has been at a distance, watching them perform in dance, theatre and film, or occasionally speaking about their lives in documentaries.
I can imagine that getting around in a big people's world could sometimes be very difficult because everything is designed for big people's bodies.
I can imagine that, like with all other kinds of difference, some people would react with prejudice, some might be overly solicitous, many might be careless or oblivious. To the extent that these experiences happen many times a day, it could at times be very difficult to cope with.
If I met a little person, I'd do my best to treat them exactly as I do others.
But I'd have curiosity and awkward questions that I probably wouldn't ask - things like, what are the most difficult things to deal with and how do you solve them?
