Staring

Hello. I was born with a spinal condition/disability called Scoliosis. Scoliosis is a curve of the spine. I am short in stature for my age because of it and i use a wheelchair when i go out, because i get tired walking. Sometimes children stare at me. I can understand why they stare at me, because they don't understand why i am using a wheelchair. I thought of the message below for other disabled people that get stared at. Do you get stared at? Do you smile at the person who is staring at you or just ignore it? I have a Facebook page called See the person, not just the condition/disability https://facebook.com/mescoliosisdisability

Yesterday, when out shopping I must have evaporated into thin air, when a man barged in front of me in a shop cue. I said `Am I invisible?` His wife looked at me and shook her head in an apologetic way...but the intruder did naff all.
Ah well, all in a day`s doings.
