One thing abled people need to realize, is that when you ask a disabled person “what happened”, not only are you inquiring about a person’s medical history, which is personal information, but also you are potentially asking them to relive what might have been the most traumatic time of their life.
An accident that left them unable to walk again. An illness that wrecked their life. A natural or man made disaster that took their loved ones.
Your curiosity simply is not worth digging up someone else’s pain.
