Disability Bingo

Ever wonder what not to say? Check out these phrases.

As a woman with a physical disability, I can totally relate to this. How awesome is it that it's an off-shoot of traditional bingo? There are so many misconceptions about disabilities, and this card is quite a good representation of them.

My favorites (and don't think I haven't heard these before...):
*Must be nice not to have to walk everywhere/work
*What's wrong with you? Why are you wearing/using those?
*Talking v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y
*How do you have SEX?

What have you heard that isn't on the list?
