Hello Danielle,
I will not write this like an assignment for you but I will give you some of my own personal experience.  It will be up to you to take the information and put it into your paper.  You just need to put what I say in quotation marks ("").

Yes there is quite a bit of discrimination that goes on.  I know that for the first few years that I had Multiple Sclerosis when I was still driving people would look at me strange when I would park in a handicap parking space.  For the most part people that have MS don't look sick.  Sometimes people will ask what am I doing using a handicapped parking sticker when it looks like nothing is wrong.  Even family members can say things that hurt.  I know one lady whose sister told her all she needed to do was exercise more and take vitamins and she would be fine.  Some people don't understand this illness at all.  I now use a wheelchair and most of the time people are very nice and helpful but not always.  I was going outside a high school one time in my electric wheelchair and some kids from the school started taunting me.  Of course trying to get a job when you are disabled is even harder than when you have nothing wrong.  You have to be able to prove yourself totally to a potential employer.  Just being passable is not acceptable.  Some jobs I can't even consider so that makes it harder too.  I have a friend who is blind.  She has all the credentials to teach two different areas in the high school level.  She had to start as a volunteer for several years to prove to the administration that she could do a job.  People sometimes think that when a person has a disability, they can't do anything or that their mind doesn't work right.  That is not always true.  Probably the biggest discrimination comes in the romance department.  It is very difficult to meet people and have them look past the disability at the actual person inside.

Well I hope my answers help you.  Good luck on your paper.
