There have been a few threads on the disabled in movies, how strangers stare,
how to talk to children about disability, etc.   I believe it was Kyle who
said we are too PC, (not just the disabled- but I think society in general).
I guess the point I just wanted to make was everyone on the list only "knows"
me from my posts.  What I talk about are issues related to CP.  BUT, after
I've sent my stuff to the list, I don't spend the rest of my day "focused" on
disability.  Perhaps it seems that we are too sensitive or focused about
disability, because for the most part that is what we talk about, and why
not?  This is what this whole support group is for.  I imagine most members
don't yak all day about being disabled.  It's just a part of who you are.  We
come here to share info and discuss our feelings with others who have been in
our shoes.  Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that point.  - Denise.
