You’re in the grocery store and see a husband and wife walking down an isle. They appear to have two children, a young girl and a young boy. The boy is obviously handicapped and in a wheelchair, but he seems happy. Behind them, is another family, a woman and her little girl. Being a good Christian, you look around you, and decide to approach one of the families and ask to pray for them. Be honest, who would you choose?

I'm currently claiming Income support as its very difficult finding some kind of paid employment at the moment, I can not cope with £43 a week as I live a lavishness lifestyle, I have already stopped most of the activities I once enjoyed as I hate the thought of my saving being exhausted. I really need to be awarded Disability living allowance which then opens the door to all the other financial benefits buts theirs a fundamental problem, I'm not that disabled. I already have sever learning disabilities but I am told I don't which I feel is untrue, its quite obvious I do.. But what can one do to look more disabled. Any advice so I could perhaps fake some symptoms. I don't want to work again.

Ok, I understand the UK laws have rightly changed in favour for the disabled and we see wheelchair access everywhere.
Also I believe if a diabled person wants to use any facilitie and cannot due to the fact there is no access to it for his/her disabilitie he/she is entitled to sue.

BUT........(you knew it was coming) you have to agree having to put wheelchair access at Heliports which supply a dedicated Taxi service as shuch to Offshore installations is insane?
Is this a law soon to be abused?

Somewhere on ANSWERS, I saw the term "differently abled" being used and I thought that was a very cumbersome expression. What ARE we supposed to say NOW? It's really very difficult to keep up with all of these changes.

I've recently seen a preview for a movie that seems to be one long stream of fat jokes. Do you really think it is justified to laugh at the morbidly obese? Even if you argue that it is because our problems are largely self-inflicted (which is only partly the case), why don't you make jokes about heroin addicts or people who slash themselves?

i am 23 and have severe spinal scoliosis. though i am not dependant on my family and lead life like any other 'normal' human being: running, playing tennis , driving etc

though i am deformed i have a very pretty face as everyone tells me. i am an engineer and will be going for my higher education to canada this year.

a couple of months back my girlfriends introduced me to a guy and we spoke on the phone a number of times. he told me he thinks i'm very intelligent and witty. however when we met in person, after a month of talking on the phone and internet he said we can be nothing more than friends.

this has been a blow on my self esteem and i feel so low.
will i ever end up getting married?

this guy in a wheelchair was stuck in the grid of a tractor trailor for 4 miles. He was ok. my question is he must have been strapped in right?

I know quite a few people who pretend to be bipolar so they can get an SSI check. I even know a psychologist who encourages this and writes fake reports and prescribes medicine telling the patients not to take it because it's just for show (usually they get high off it or sell it to other people) because he collects more money from his medic-aid patients. I reported it to DHS but I don't think it did any good. What do actual disabled people think about this?

Wearing diapers for me is an emotional need. I always have needed them at night for bedwetting ever since I was little. Now I wear them because it makes me feel emotionally grounded and safe and secure and content. However some co-workers know and they tease me. I ignore them but they still make mean comments. I don't want to tell my boss because I'm not sure if she knows I wear them. Plus I don't have medical reasoning for doing so. What do I do?

I have an art class two nights a week at a local college. One of the kids in my class is deaf. We always wave hello to each other, and once I typed out "you like the class okay?" on my cell phone and he nodded and sort of responded. I feel so bad because I talk to everyone in class, but obviously cant really talk to him besides the nods and knowing looks back and forth. He's a cool kid. Would it be weird to ask for his number so I could text message him during breaks and what not? I cant think of any other way to talk to him, but I feel like thats bizarre and no one does that...thanks for your input!

I was severely injured and will be disabled for life. I received my social security statement and it says that I earned enough credits to qualify for disability for about $700/month.

I am disabled for life so can I receive disability for life?

We do try, but it ends up in ouch, aarghh or fall about laughing.
If I can get into a position, he can't and vice versa.
Please no smutty replies. We love each other and can please each other but penetration would be preferable for both of us.
Its a good job we have a sense of humour but it is hurting us both now, (no pun intended).
