Know how you feel - the "stares" are the worst, biting your tongue and saying nothing can be one of the hardest things in the world to do sometimes, ive seen red quite a few times, and your right in saying a look can tell the arse holes exactly what you are about to do, if they dont stop staring.And another thing is when as soon as people see the wheelchair they look away as quick as can be, as if to say im not looking or "not to make eye contact".. They wouldnt look away from a newborn in a pram like.
If people dont understand they should ask, it wouldnt offend anyone or make anyone feel awk
