I hear you about the rehabbers.  I must say that being disabled has it's difficulties, but I never considered being disabled a tragedy. It just was something I had to deal with.  People's atitude were a whole seperate ball game, however. There is a perceived idea out there amongst the able-bodied population that the disabled should be seen and not heard. That we are a-sexual and more.  It takes a really strong person to overcome this bias.


I must say that I have seen disabled people get married and have children, but they are in the MINORITY. It's much more common for a disabled person to come up against the usual predjudices such as the idea that we are asexual.


I hate to contradict those who are trying to be postive, but this IS the norm, and, not the exception. The exception IS that we are considered asexual and that is sad.
