Growing up disabled in a rural area

Has anyone else found that growing up in a rural area, when disabled is difficult? It feels that attitudes and acessability for disability can sometime be quite outdated. Such as people doubting your need for a wheelchair, if you walk short distances.

Hi @EvelynT and welcome to the community! I currently live in a rural area and it's not very accessible. Have you had people being rude to you?
