Attitudes to disabled people

Sometimes people will give you looks, make you feel insecure or different, remember this is their issue not yours, try and make them realise your just a person like anyone else but some of your body doesn't work as theirs or even you have missing limbs. I have heard people say if one of the five senses doesn't work the others become more enhanced, if that's the case people who are lacking in one area may make up for it in other ways, such as the wheelchair bound could be better artists or writers. 
There is a lady who is deaf but one of the worlds leading percussionists, I don't think others attitudes worries her.
In a way those who look at a disabled child and feels sorry for them is really the one with a disability, a closed or narrow mind who can't see beyond so called normal and therefore just sees a persons disability and not their potential
