I am so glad you chimed in. I had several friends in chairs that I went hiking with in parks and fishing with around Los Angeles and other places I've lived. Most of the people I worked with were straight out of rehab, and I got to work with many of them for years after. Most all got stronger and increased their mobility afterwards and being able to drive somewhere and get around in their chairs, and get a job, really helped normalize their lives. They were often more willing to try something new than those who kind of holed up. I can say with certainty that most were not "Type A", but those I recall that were would generally not be at all apprehensive about learning to drive the vehicles we modified for them. They wanted to go do burnouts as soon as they could :D
