I hate it when people automatically pull away if they find out someone has a "disability." Its just a person, they might be a little different, but thats not an excuse to treat them differently than anyone else.
Funny story...
I used to date a really sweet girl who was almost completely deaf. Her and I went out with a friend of mine and his SO on a double date to a slightly noisy restaurant. He talks kind of fast, so she kept asking him to repeat himself. After about the fifth time, he snapped at her, "What are you, deaf?" She grinned, winked at me, and pulled her hearing aids out and set them on the table.
I've never seen someone turn red so fast. I thought he was going to pass out he was so emberassed. I think he apologized 500 times that night, she just thought it was hilarious.
