When I was a young girl when I saw someone who had a disability it frightened me...but as I got older I realized they were just like me....they could do everything I could do but some could not walk, see, hear...etc......it did not affect their MIND...they were the same as me.....but had some problems they had to find a way to work around. Then I remembered something I read...."there by the grace of God go I".....that means ....I could be in that person's shoes or body...that could not walk, see or hear etc......when I realized I could be that person I started to count my blessings that I was able to do everything without needing help. Your question was interesting and gave me reason to examine my mind what I really feel about someone who is different . I find some sweet and some not so sweet. Just like the rest of the population we all have different moods....some days good and some bad...one last thought...when I was young and with a group and someone spotted a disabled person...a remark might be made about the disabled person......we can either join in or we can stand up for that person and shame the one who is not showing respect. When we are young we are not aware of the differences but as we live longer we see all kinds of people in different stages of life...some are strong and healthy and some are disabled physically..and some mentally....we should be sensitive to everyone we meet or see from a distance. I feel the caregivers who watch over and do everything for the disabled should be praised for be dependable each day to do so many things for the one who needs and depends on him or her to make their life the best it can be. Sometimes the caregiver does not get the praises but deep inside they know they are doing one of the most important jobs there is . To give freedom and joy of life to someone who was born with physical or mental problems.

What would you think of your best friend if he/she became disabled? Would you think any less of your mom/dad if they were disabled? What would you think of yourself if you became disabled? I don't think of disabled people as being gross or sweet. They're just people that by some occurrence in their lifetime they became disabled.
The majority would rather be OK and be able to work and think for themselves. I can't think of anyone out there that is disabled that would say that that was their lifelong goal to become disabled and depend on the government and others to get around.
As far as those that work with them, it takes a different kind, I'll give you that. Still it's just like any other job out there.
I pray that you never have to deal with a disabled person or that you ever become disabled. In fact, I hope nobody else does either. There is nothing sadder than seeing a young and vibrant person be so myopic. You my friend suffer from a different type of disability. Careful, life tends to hand you what you deserve.

i dont ever feel grossed out because i know that they didnt chose to be disabled it was something that placed on them. I feel that they are strong people because they deal with it eveyday and face the negative things everyday. Its hard not being able to do things for yourself an having other people have to do it for you, and i feel that most of them deal with it in a positive way.

I think that people who want to be shallow and get "grossed out" by people who are handicapped don't deserve to have the opportunity to meet really awesome people, and they are missing out on the chance to not only be a blessing to them, but to let probably one of the most precious gifts on this planet pass them by... and they deserve nothing more.

I don't say to myself. "They have a disability, how sweet!"
Nor do I see disabled people and say. "How Gross!"
You know why?
Because I see what is really important.
And what's really important is invisable to the eye.
Look beyond the disability and see the human being.

good ques. wen i see someone in a wheelchair or a little mental, i really dont judge them by their looks anymore. instead people probably get to learn their personality. i know a girl in a wheelchair in my school that is very nice, funny, and friendly, but people who dont know her look kinda scared or something. anyway just be as normal as possible!

I don't know if this is good or bad, but they are just another face in the crowd to me.

Guess it depends on the disabilty, but no they do no actually make me sick, but why do you think someone would think they are sweet?
