I really enjoyed your post, Marianne. I am battling some similar issues. One difference is that my disability is not visible. I also like your newsletter.

I would like to start off by saying, thank you for supplying me with the information I’ve been searching for. I’ve been surfing the internet for three hours searching for it and would have given my right arm if I would have located your site sooner. Not only did I find what I was searching for, but found answers to questions I never even thought to ask myself. Thank you for your wonderful web-site!

I learned a good lesson from this post. It’s normal to get angry when people aren’t treating you with respect.

Kelly, I love the image of your son zooming along! Thanks for sharing.

Yes! We bought my son’s chair (and had to fight to get it a bit) when he was only 2.5. He wanted to go fast and I wanted to give him everyway to keep up with his peers. People didn’t understand why I would “put him in a chair” when he could walk. As it turned out he now walks on his own and even gave up his walker. But I like that we have the chair for the future when we can’t carry him or he doesn’t want to ride in a stroller. Right now he doesn’t have a negative view of wheelchairs, seeing it instead as a tool to zoom.
