Just as an addition to the last post, from this Guardian UK article about the abuse disabled people face:

“The really serious cases catch the headlines. But what about the constant drip, drip, nag, nag of the so-called ‘low-level’ harassment that many disabled people face on a daily basis? It ruins their lives. They don’t have the confidence to go out. It undermines their ability to be part of society. It makes them behave differently.”  –Michael Smith, commissioner for the Equality & Human Rights Commission, and wheelchair user
