Well, I think the best way to treat a disabled person is to pretend they aren't disabled.
To me, a person with glasses is disabled as their eyes don't work properly, and women with huge breasts, ugh, that's a worse thing to be saddled with than legs that don't move right because it can give you backache carrying all that around and men leer all over you.
I just want people to view me as Jo, not that woman with weird legs. I mean, at the park yesterday this mother stopped me to ask what was wrong with me. I told her, politely of course and we had this discussion about it but I hated it. She referred to herself as 'normal' (as if I'm not normal - what is normality anyway? Normality is subjective) and then proceeded to ask if I had any help from social services with my child.
I gritted my teeth and said no, through a strained smile whilst privately wanting to punch her in the face. As usual able-bodied people think that disabled mothers can't even look after their own children.
I actually think a lot of abled people are more disabled than I am because they only think of 1 way around things and if that doesn't work they panic and don't know what to do.
Anyway, I was enjoying myself at the park so much that I brushed off that particular convo.
