I appreciate your sharing of this wisdom, especially the importance of people communicating directly with a person who has a disability rather than talking to the people who are with them. Your point that it is an invasion of a person's privacy to ask, "What happened?" is also very important. I am the mother of an adult son who uses a wheelchair to travel around this earth. When he was a child some people would ask, "What is wrong with him." My response was to ignore the question generally, or to simply respond with one word, "Nothing" and then leave the situation. In truth there is nothing "wrong". People with a disability are differently abled. Chyrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710162357675028970noreply@blogger.com
