You don't say why she's in a wheelchair. Has she struggled with physical problems all her life or did she overcome an accident of some kind and continue on with her education successfully instead of sitting in a corner watching the rest of the world go on without her? \n\nPeople admire other people who persevere against great odds to further their goals in life. When they achieve something as important as a diploma that allows them to climb another step higher, they clap for them because they admire the courage and hard work they put in to get there. \n\nAre you proud of your sister for being the best that she can be?

I was at the grocery store the other day.  There was a woman who was handicapped (due to no legs).  She was trying to put her groceries up onto the conveyor belt and fell out of her wheelchair.  She was struggling to get into to her chair, but couldn't because her milk carton had broke and made the floor very slick.  I went over, helped her into her chair.  Then I continued to put her grocery items onto the belt.  She tried to give me some money for a good deed, I told her to keep it in her pocket.  She looked at me and smiled.  I later met up with her again at another store, she told me she went to a local childrens hospital and gave the money she was trying to give me to a family who couldn't afford a meal.

My grown son is mentally disabled and he lives in the Bradenton/Sarasota area of Florida. The schools went out of their way to get him an education, the bus system goes everywhere, there are buses that accomodate wheelchairs too. He gets SSI disability and has a part time job as a dishwasher.

the drug absue problem I'd say forget about.  As far as other disabilities, I'd say make everything wheelchair accessable

He can do wheelchair push ups, and use free weights to do bicep & tricep curls, shoulder exercises too, possibly push ups, and as far as six pack stomach depends on his injury as to why he is in the wheelchair in the first place as to what muscles are still  functional .  Need more info. for that sorry.

I am a person with a physical disability. I was not smitten by your GOD or anybody Else's GOD. I had a plan and simple Work related accident, that is all. I learned many many moons ago, not to argue religion, politics, or with mentally handicapped people, so, I shall just leave it at that. \n\nP.S. for a person with the nick Non_deviant, you sure are deviant, at least according to Websters Dictionary

That can apply to anyone with a wheelchair or not. If someone smiles don't just assume and think they like you, if they make an attempt to get to know you further (phone number exchange, etc) then you'll know for sure.

This person has been diagnosed with a mental illness...it is the same as any other illness! Would you wait for the person if they were in the hospital with a broken leg...no matter what the illness a sickness is a sickness...BUT... if the person is abusive...no matter what the circumstance is, leave the relationship! No person should put their hands on another in anger!

It sounds like discrimination no matter how you describe it or what they advise you to do or not to do. I would contact your local disabilities office and report the discrimination... they would then be able to give you the best advice on how to proceed.

I saw one get a ticket one night.  He crossed the road right in front of a motorcycle.  Man in wheelchair went flying, passenger on motorcycle went flying, and driver of motorcycle ended up under the bike.  Was one of the freakiest things I've ever seen.

I park in a handicap spot. I park there because I have a permit. It's absolutely amazing the people who sit in their cars and feel they are not taking a space. People with handicaps do want to be treated equal that is why they require proper access to buildings, bathrooms and ramps so they can carry on life in the most normal fashion. If the other person feels that treating someone equal amounts to denying someone access to basic requirements of life that is very sad for them.  They obviously have a very limited view of society and do not know or have in their family someone with a challenge. God works in mysterious ways.

What do you consider normal? Anyone who is just like you? Do you think God placed handicapped people on this earth to benefit themselves? Probably not, many have rough lives. So, that means they are here to help us. To help us to learn to have compassion. \n\nIt's not our place to decide if someone has worth or value. We can do our part to help the handicapped, and it will actually help us. Our lives will be much "fuller" when we are helping others.

It isn't a handicap ONLY stall, it is a handicap accessible stall.  It is unlike a handicap parking spot that is reserved ONLY for those that are handicapped.  Therefore, they are open game if there is no other stall available.  I have used them, but not if another is available.  Could you imagine how bad you would feel if someone in a wheelchair was waiting for you to get out of a stall??
