I'm so sorry, that you feel this way :( I'm sure you have heard that a thousand times but I guess people are just surprised or curious or even impressed in which ways you are participating in everyday life (school for example).
I have to admit that I often don't know how to act around people with disabilities. I find myself looking straight at them, then I'm ashamed because I think they think I'm staring at them in an insulting way, then I pull of a shy smile and think they think I'm now making fun of them. Then I think about this the whole day, hoping that I didn't fuck up a persons day who is having it bad enough.
So, how do you wish people would act around you? Is it this moment where you realise, that they are not looking at random people like it just happens all the time but explicitly are aware of you? (Sorry, I don't really know how to word this and hope I am not sounding offensive)
