So today I was out on my own, this is not a specifically rare occurance for me, but it does change the way I can access the world slightly in a way you might not expect.

If I am traveling alone, getting stuck or injured while out is more complex. Therefore as I result, it may be logical to take less risks in order to protect your own safety. This can look strange if you have never seen it before. It can look like seeing a disabled person not take a risk doing something, that you may have seen them do before. This is what happened to me today.

On a side note, while this does not apply to me, it is worth remembering that some peoples disability or chronic illness changes daily, and this may be the reason that you see them do things some day and not others.

So let’s be careful who we judge for what we see them do.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I was also criticised today, because apparently my independence is to great to warrant having issue with and wow, is all I can say to that right now.
