How to not talk to people in wheelchairs

About a week ago I was at a small party hosted by my parents, one of the guests was rather sauced. And preceded to berate me though harmlessly her endless praise was lacking tact, such as you are the coolest person I’ve ever met. How could she know that about someone she had just met, we don’t want to be praised or disrespected. Just treated like any other person as that is who we are the chair doesn’t change that in the slightest, sadly she hadn’t a clue how to talk with a handicapped individual, she wasn’t negative in the slightest, surprisingly quite the opposite. I know I don’t speak for the entire disabled community but I do speak for my self and surely a few others 😉 just because someone isn’t being negative towards us doesn’t mean it’s ok. Being overly positive can have the same if not a more of an effect, we just want to be treated as individuals just like everyone else. You don’t have to ignore the fact that we are in chairs just like you we know we are different in that regard but to assume otherwise is equally offensive, I don’t want to put this out to shame anyone. Just wanted to share an experience, to help others avoid such travesty in the future
