These posts are curious. Do other chair users experience disgraceful treatment in public as a rule? The nicest people have crossed my life since being in a chair. Having a "service dog" sure helps social interaction, but life with other humans was never perfect, especially when I was in walking mode. If some of these posters remember walking, were you always making eye contact to people. And you think people are looking you!

Obviously the publishers are prejudice themselves and in the business for a profit only. I encourage new disabled individuals I meet to keep their head up and make eye contact. Using a wheelchair doesnt mean a person is unable to get respect or engage in a conversation. We are american citizens the same as any other walking person out there, and in turn are entitled to the same rights.
