I'm Hoh, have a learning disability, have Clinical Depression and Anxiety and issues with social interaction. I absolutely hate when people when people talk to me like that, so yes you are right.
A couple of days ago I was in the hospital for an inflamed chest. Part of the process of getting the IV in was to poke a hole in my vein with a needle. I'm terrified of needles and they had trouble finding the vein. When the nurse saw how uncomfortable I was, she said "It's almost over, sweetie. Your vein just won't say hello to me!" I replied "I'm twenty, don't talk to me like that." So she switched over: "I don't care how old you are, the needle has to go in!" Not the most pleasant experience.
IIN that I think these compliments to the disabled are patronising?
