Just gonna say, walking with my cane, my backpack, my art bag, my 18x24in drawing pad, and my coffee is an acquired skill.

Honestly I don’t want to sound dramatic but staring at disabled people in public can be a form of violence.

Hear me out. When we realize that you’re staring at us we suddenly become very self conscious or we become hyper aware of what we’re doing and end up over thinking simple things like staying upright

So, for instance, a walker user might get distracted and lose their balance. They might fall down because someone is staring at them.

When I was still walking, I fell and hurt myself more than once because people distracted me with their unapologetic staring. They might as well have pushed me over.

Basically, if you notice yourself staring at a disabled person, stop. You might not realize it, but you’re putting them at risk. It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are.
