Sometimes wheelchairs make you more approachable to some people. They may feel you are less likely to reject them. Children always stare, I like kids (Taught and have my own) and most know it and know they can ask my anything. And what parent can resist anyone liking their kid? Went to a neighborhood block sale event, my zooming (Thanks Marc, Wheelchair Kamikaze) and feckless driving got noticed and commented on. Sometimes you gotta make your own party.
