A C5/C6 Quadriplegic's take on the top five things not to say or do to people in wheelchairs. I decided to have some fun and keep it 100.
These are strictly from my point of view and should be taken with a grain of salt.
please know that this is coming from an honest, real, and genuine place.
Over the past 11 years of living with paralysis, I've learned that sometimes people get weird around wheelchair users - And these are my thoughts about it. Please do not: 1. Tell stories of you using a wheelchair (short-term) 2. Pray for wheelchair users in public places 3. Illegally park in Handicap spaces OR access aisles 4. Violate personal space 5. Assume. Anything.
