When a blind person walks into a store or restaurant the employees either all run away or you can hear them fighting on who has to help the blind person ( yes, they actually argue ) As far as everybody is concerned not only are they blind they are deaf and shout. they think they are stupid and incapable of taking care of themselves and actually indicate it in some way. When in a restaurant they actually try to shove you in the most unnoticeable place whether they have a guide dog or not. They ask whoever is with them what they want. At a bank a couple of times they actually asked me about my Friend's account...I have no flippin clue..not my money or account. I am in no way saying you do not have problems. My disability is a very hard one because you can not tell from looking at me or talking to me for a little while that I am so I have people treating me like I am stealing from the government and them. I tell them "You try getting slammed into a car while on a moped and see how well you come out along with the fetal alcohol syndrome and ADHD and a few other disabilities you were born with which got worse from the hit on the head." All disabilities have their problems with society. What do you deal with?
