There was a time when I needed a wheelchair, (badly broken foot), and people , even ones I knew well, kind of overlooked me in conversations, and treated me deferentially.
It is the case maybe with lots of disabilities.
My son lost his voice once and his clients and friends started shouting at him like he was deaf too. (Though why anyone shouts at a deaf person is beyond me).

Good thread topic...
Thank you sweet heart,it means a lot to me,because at the moment I am close to that person,but all I see is his great loving and caring heart...
I think I can fallin in love but I don't know any person on the wheel chair. When I look at person on the wheel chair I feel sad because I know how wonderful is ability to walk, run and feel independent from others. I have friend who lost leg in tram acident when he was child. He has artificial limb by all his life. Now he play in our volleyballs national team. He is vey handsome so I think girls have no problem with fallin in love with him :).
I think disability is not a problem in love.
Problem is when you fallin in love with somebody who is mentaly ill because you can't see this.

Thanks brother.... What you said is wonderful...and I will always think this way...
shipoker55: Yes I can love a person in a wheel chair.....but not be IN love with that person.
Before anyone jumps on me for that......I don't believe I can be IN love with anyone, wheelchair or not. But I can love all without reservation
I know what you mean,if you think you are not able to be IN love with anyone ,then why you should be IN love with somebody in a wheel chair??? Simple as that,......
If you loved a person without a wheelchair and they became wheelchair bound.......would you stop loving them.....no!
Then you can fall in love with a wheelchair bound person to start with.
If you can not still love a person after they become wheel chair bound....then you are more crippled in life than they.
Truly are we not all crippled in some way.....some by bad experiences and conditions.......others by fowl and self centered personalities. One by life, the other by choices,.... one acceptable and one condemnable.

I have a disability and i have a friend who once dated a girl who used to talk to me like i was a child.
Ya know like speaking V-E-R-Y S-l-O-W-L-Y and it was incredibly annoying but thats just ignorance for ya. I spose she meant well. Anyway most of the women i have dated have been able-bodied but i wouldn't have a problem with dating someone with a disabilty because i think its whats on the inside that counts.
I could tell a million stories on this matter but i won't bore ya
