The "there by the Grace of God I don't have to be disabled" mindset is not always so cool of a way to think. We all have our crosses to bear and useing a wheelchair is no worse than many things that come along. Strength is usually derived by love and encouragement from friends and family as well as personal attitude. A person who is not taught from childhood may not know how to cope. what? did you get this post at all?

I wear hearing aids, and people automatically assume I'm deaf. Deaf people don't wear anything and they also assume I was born "this way". Grr, I hate explaining things over and over. My speech is perfect and I can hear... Do u think I'm deaf now? Sorry y'all... I get a bit aggravated this, lol.

My point was that ALL people learn coping by being taught it from childhood not from being born with or having a disability.

Most interesting, and I love hearing and witnessing these kinds of "Life's Little Reality Checks"
