Would you date a Disabled person.

I feel like I have already replied somewhere in this discussion, my heart said go check and see if you have, my head said fuck off, just reply.

I don't tend to see a disability in the same manner as a majority of people would see it, I prefer to see ability, and by that I mean you are faced with a series of challenges, we all are, but how we approach those challenges is what defines your character.

Being wholey reliant on other people and using your disability as a crutch before even trying to attempt to meet a challenge would be a deal breaker, not the disability in itself.

A number of years back, my six-year-old son and I had gone shopping at one of those giant discount toy stores with toys piled to the ceiling. We had just come around the corner of an aisle when I saw a young, longhaired bearded man in a wheelchair.

He must have been in some terrible accident because both his legs were missing and his face was badly scarred. Just then my six-year-old saw him, too, and said in a loud voice, “Look at that man, Momma!”

I did the normal mother thing and tried to shush my son, telling him it was not polite to point; but my son gave a hard tug, broke free from my hand and went running down the aisle to the man in the wheelchair. He stood right in front of him and said in a loud voice, “What a cool dude earring, man! Where did you get such a neat earring?”

The young man broke into a grin that lit up his face. He was so taken aback by the compliment that he just glowed with happiness, and the two of them stood there talking awhile about his earring and other “cool stuff.” It made a lifelong impression on me.

For I had seen only a horribly scarred man in a wheelchair, but my six-year-old saw a man with a cool dude earring.

having said all that, this topic brings back a memory of a video I watch a long while ago.
