I agree that we are often looked uppon differently by those who are 
able-bodied.
I never like using the term able-bodied because I feel I'm just ascapable 
as anyone else. Anyway, I am constantly amazed that people have 
stereotypesof the blind and of people with other disabilities. I used to 
cover religion for the Star-Telegram in Fort Worth. I constantly was 
asked if I had gone to such and such church to be healed of my 
affliction. Now that I have switched to feature writing, that hasn't 
happened at al.
