Dear Tracey I agree with Gayle.
People are just ignorant.
If anything, they deserve pity for being that way. I'm a 32 year old male who is visually impaired. My eye disease is such that on a clear, sunny day, nobody would be able to pick that I have a problem. The fact that I am fit and muscular, and not in a wheelchair just doesn't fit into most people's narrow minded concept about what a disabled person is. I've never had any problems with other people.
