So....I ask, what makes people assess what's wrong with individuals? I'd say it's frustration that turns to anger. There are all sorts of issues that cause a person to have a placard. At our house---I have rheumatoid disease (some call it arthritis) that has affected my mobility. My S.O. had a stroke (recovered from it) but as age progresses the mobility has been affected. BOTH of us "look" fine but we're not. Walking is an issue for both of us and we don't go too far because of it. Do we have wheelchairs? NO!!! I don't disparage anyone for parking in those spots. Is it frustrating at times to not find one----YES!! But to make blanket statements only feeds into that frustration. There is an old adage that says..."walk in another's moccasins......."
