Physical Disability Stereotypes In The Garbage (Things you should know)

Okay all it has been awhile since I written a blog but here it goes.  The topic on the table Physical Disabilities.  
First to give you a bit of my background so not to offend anyone.  I am Partially Physically Disabled and have been that way for 12 years or so.  I had an injury to my spinal cord and left me using a wheelchair for transportation.  It also took me years to get feeling back in my legs and movement of my legs as well. Now it is still undetermined if I will walk again.  But I will continue to strive towards that end.  So lets get to my mind set. Here are things I think every person should know about Physically Disabled individuals. 
How do I feel about being physically disabled? Simple answer I would prefer to walk but I am not going to sit here and cry over what isn't.  I instead continue to do everything I would like to when I want to.  If I want to travel I get on a plane and go.  If I want to go to a party.  I get up and go to a party.  Being physically disabled has not stopped me from doing anything.  So don't think that because I use a wheelchair I have stopped living my life.  I have actually lived it with more intensity.  Also a side note do not treat people with physical disability like they have a mental disability.  
How to react to a person with a physical disability? Now some may react differently but me and my friends that are disabled like the same thing here.  Approach us like you would anyone else.  You like to know why we are disabled then ask.  Most of us, especially if you have been in disabled as long as I have are used to talking about it.  It actually is good for us to lay the cards out on the table.  Helps us get over being self conscience about it all if you do not care about that factor that much.  Plus until it gets really serious in a relationship our medical problems are really nothing you need to worry about. (I know that is easier said then done).  Parents just a note to you when telling your kids about physical disabled individuals DO NOT say to them it is impolite to ask.  Let your kids ask, actually I prefer if you have your child ask me.  
Now for helping a person in a wheelchair.  Unless they ask.  DON'T.  I know that sounds crazy but we will ask for help if we need it.  Let us do it on our own.  I know you want to be kind and I really do appreciate that.  But it is important for our own independence that we do things for ourselves and ask when we need something.  People that are physically disabled, can clearly take care of themselves, but depend way to much others makes it hard for us to get out of the stereotypes.    
Physical Disability and Sex? Well let me see here.  Duh yes we can have sex.  No matter who you talk to we all have needs and those needs have to be met.  Actually after getting feeling back in my legs and along different parts of my body the sensation is actually better.  I am even actually use my wheelchair as a screening process for sexual partners.  Any guy that bolts when he sees the wheelchair, "Goodbye". :) "Good thing I didn't waste time with you there."  But any guy that stays automatically gets to the second round of the screening process.   These three things I think everyone should know about physically disabled individuals.  I just get sick and tired of people being afraid of the physically disabled.  There is nothing to be afraid of.  We just use a different modes of transportation in my mind.  I have such a love of life and intend living it up.  So don't feel sad for me or sorry for me.  I would not change what has happened to me.  It was a blessing in disguise.  I wish you all the best and thank you for reading this.  I hope it helps you in the future and maybe together we can end the physical disability stereotypes.
