Thanks for doing this. as a physically disabled person myself, I encounter many ignorant people who fail to understand even the simplest tasks on this list. Personally speaking, I wish people would ask me what happened. I believe it would lessen the chances of them assuming things about me and perhaps other disabled people in general.

First of all, thanks Ryan for enrolling in my Disability Etiquette course. I agree with your comment above. It would be much better to go up to a person to talk to them rather than staring at them and making wrong assumptions. It’s just that often people don’t know how to behave in these kind of situations. Sometimes it also depends on the personality of the disabled person, not everyone would feel comfortable being asked about it or being asked over and over again.
