What do I do when people judge me about using a mobility aid? Today I got my first mobility aids. A cane and some crutches to use depending on my health from day to day. My dad pointed fun at me today but also said, " You don't need those, you walk fine." what he doesn't know is how often I fall and how scared I am to walk by myself. What do I say to people in the future who are rude or just out right ableist?
