[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 154928, member: 4570"] Yes, someone people are very insensitive. A few years ago I was at Disneyland and there were two able bodied young men helping a young man in a wheelchair (who appeared to have no control of movement from neck down) into one of the rides. It must have taken 15 minutes. Obviously, it held up the ride and everyone in line was "staring". I too was staring. My son said, "Mom, it is not polite to stare" He was right, but I was not staring out of rudeness I was staring out of awe. The three of them, and their bond as friends, moved me and I thought, "There are three wonderful young men with a great friendship". I would hope that most people were staring for the same reason...not meaning to be rude. Maybe some of the stares or not meant in a negative way? I know that is easy for me to say....but I like to look at things from a positive! I wish your friend and her son peace and a way to deal with the stares that make him feel comfortable. [/QUOTE]
