A person in a wheel chair

I am not sure how to respond to your question. Personally I am quite aware of anyone in a wheelchair. I used to work at a hospital. One of the clinics I worked in was specifically for spinal cord injuries. I met the most interesting people there, and they were basically all in wheelchairs. I actually still keep a friend from that time. SHe's the most incredible person, always with such a great sense of humor:) I think a lot of people do realize that just because someone is in a wheelchair they're still people, and the rest will slowly get it.

I am condolence who they have no legs and all unability people.I think some of them have alot of hopeness to alive.I think the perfected people should look them to strong hearts.

When I saw a man a wheelchair, I used to imagine he fell on a bomb to save his buddies, and then I learned some were there because of MS, Strokes, ALS, diabetes, spinal injuries. With the spinal injuries, I did not know what to think. If he worked a good job, or it was an accident that was not his fault, then I felt he was a nice guy. But how can one respect and value a man or woman in a wheelchair who got that way by jumping off into a pool of water where it said no diving, or if they were drunk, or were careless. In other words, it depends on how the person got in the wheelchair that determines whether he should be respected and valued, not him being in a wheelchair. I certainly would not value or respect some idiot who decided to disobey his bosses's orders and did not wear a safety harness. Nor would I resopect a kid who ran out in the middle of the road (toddlers and little kids being the exception) and got hit by a car. In other words, it is the character of the person that should matter, not that he or she is in a wheelchair.

I think disabled people and those in wheel chairs for other reasons are far more accepted nowadays than years ago. Most adults accept them as part of society, but to children they are different, so we need the acceptance to be taught to the young ones.

I don't know. Maybe it was how I was reared, but I've always been aware of people with disabilities who require consideration. It's not like they want pity, they just want to be treated with respect. But the way people even talk to those in wheel chairs or walkers...it's like they don't even think the people can hear them! I've heard people say something derogatory about a woman in a walker, and the woman was right next to him! She wasn't deaf, what was he thinking? He just didn't care. It gets me riled up.

A wheel chair doesn't phase me. It definitely doesn't mean that I don't notice the person that is in the wheelchair. I spent some time in a wheel chair as a child after I had my ankle broken through the growth plate. It was a novelty at the time to the other kids at school because they all got to take turns pushing me. Then, when I was 8 years old, my cousin was involved in an accident that resulted in him being paralyzed from the neck down. Needless to say, he is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. It is difficult for him in that he was such an active individual, but it hasn't stopped his life. He still writes music and goes to school and is probably one of the smartest people that I know. I've worked with several different people throughout my life that are wheelchair bound and that has not effected my view of them. A person in a wheelchair is just as much a person as anyone else and I do see that sometimes they are ignored, but I don't do this myself.
