There was an episode of Judge Judy once where a woman told her she was disabled and Judge Judy asked her what was wrong. When she said MS Judge Judy said "you look fine to me". Just shows how ignorant people (who think they know everything) can be. I've learned so much since being dx with this condition. I no longer make any comment at all regarding how they look or act when speaking to someone with a disability.....could be that they're having a "good day" (good for them!!) just like we all have sometimes.

Being disabled doesn't mean you withdraw from life...you just have more challenges.
