Well, your mind doesn’t seem to be handicapped at all, @Ingolf. Then perhaps you can do thinking as good as anybody else? Or even better maybe? Who knows?

Being handicapped myself, I really don’t find it offensive in anyway, no matter what word is used, unless it’s nasty. I have long since accepted that I can never do everything as good as someone that doesn’t have the disability that I have and I’m ok with that. I on the other hand, I am pretty sure that I type faster with one hand than most people, which I think is cool :D. But to each his/her own I always say, I see that some people find it offensive, I, like I said, do not.

Yes, it is a bad word for disabled people (also “disabled people” is a bad word). I Mexico, we refered those people as “people with different capabilities”

On the flip side of the situation I have held doors open for able bodied people and they look at me like I have 3 heads. So I guess because I am in a wheelchair I can’t be helpful and courteous to able bodied people?

I am in a wheelchair and I appreciate courtesy as much as the next person, however, there have been many people who have been overly courteous to those with disabilities thus bringing more attention to the disability. I have had able bodied people literally run towards me from a long distance just to open the door…that is not necessary! I have also had able bodied people ask me if they can open an AUTOMATIC door for me…no, that defeats the purpose of the door being AUTOMATIC! I have also have had able bodied people basically rip the door that I had already had half way open to open it for me thus ripping my shoulder! I appreciate courtesy but this is taking courtesy too far to the point of not being helpful at all.

I disagree with how the guy handled the situation…cussing someone out is never appropriate…but next time it is best to ask if help is needed then just automatically giving it. Giving help automatically just undermines the person’s ability to take care of themself.
