This sounds like you experienced some nasty stuff. Is this true or are you just cautious? From personal experience I’ve seen people not knowing what to do but never acting aggressive or offensive towards a disabled person, so I’m a bit surprised.
- GordonS 9y agoJust not knowing what to say or how to behave is quite common, but nobody will think I'll of you if you simply ask well-intentioned questions out of ignorance - parents of children with disabilities haven't always been so, and have probably felt the same as you at some point. But... a few people really are just hateful bastards. Mostly adolescent young men, but sometimes parents too. I'm sure you know the type - those that seem to take joy in hurting those they perceive as being weaker than them in any way. As a parent of a disabled child, it really breaks my heart thinking about how these things affect children with disabilities.
