My kids have the opposite problem, my son is always in a wheelchair and my daughter is sometimes. Both are cognatively normal and both can speak just fine (too well sometimes! LOL) but people come up and talk over them as if they are deaf or something or they give them babytalk (both are 8 years old)
My daughter especially hates people who come up and say things like "oh you poor baby" it really annoys her and strangers who offer to pray for her. I know they mean well, but they don't know her to know what to pray for. If they ask her she will tell them she would be praying for a cell phone, a horse and to be allowed to wear make up! LOL, she would not be praying for legs or anything they think she would.
The other thing I hate is when people give gifts to my disabled kids, without asking me and ignoring my other kids.
