It’s so weird to be around abled people with my wheelchair compared to my crutches. If I’m in my wheelchair, I rarely get questions on what happened. People usually just stare, give me pitiful looks, and go on with their day. Or they refuse to look at me and get awkward. If I’m using my crutches, it’s all questions. Did you hurt yourself? Were you born that way? Did something happen?
Like dude. I don’t owe you anything. It’s also hard because 99.9% of these people don’t realize I’m nonverbal and never give me the chance to respond anyway besides smiling and nodding. “I was on crutches once! They suck!” Like, Yeah they suck but I literally need them to do anything. I’m not able to walk without my crutches. It’s just so weird.
