I'm sure I used to be uncomfortable around "disability" before I tried it out myself
but most folks are fine here in England, Back in my home town in Australia, folks were downright harsh, one old workmate actually said,
"If you're just going to roll around in that thing you should stay at home where people don't have to look at it" and followed up with "Don't you care how uncomfortable you make it for people that have to look at you".
Over here it's just that right now with the economy being what it is, an employer can get any quantity of fully able staff, I understand completely that if you're given a choice between a fully able worker and one that has any form of limitation you take the fully able guy, but what most Engineering employers don't seem to do is to look deeper into how much more I might be able to offer, but having said that I do actually have an interview lined up in the coming week, so fingers crossed
Best Regards

Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.
