    As someone with an injured/handicapped leg. No this is not indicative of lying about your handicap and people need to stop being so miseducated about disabilities.

    I can walk short distances even though I need a crutch usually. My leg will just hate me all day afterwards. I’d imagine this to be very much similar where he can in their walk but his quality of life is absolutely bad without his wheelchair

      My favorite is the video of the old lady yelling at a younger guy for parking in a handicap spot (yes he had the handicap tag on his mirror). Then the guy walks out of the car and he has a prosthetic leg. Never jump to conclusions about people’s disabilities and mind your own business.
