Hi and welcome to the community
I understand your frustration best way to deal with it is just try and ignore them it's nothing to do with anyone else -
@catwoman, sorry to read your post, I know how you must feel I also use a mobility scooter and if the truth be know I look a picture of health. But I have MS unable to walk far, stumble and dragging my feet and poof balance.I’ve never had any problems or people say things like you have posted. My reply to any one saying that is “ you don’t look ignorant but you are”. And move in it will make them think hopefully.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience @catwoman, it can't be easy to not be taken seriously just because people can't necessarily see your condition. Do you mind me asking who was calling you names?
