I've worked in human services, and it's just a thing that happens. Ultimately "Your in a wheelchair, and this place has no ramps, so we are going to have to prepare for this" is a reality. It's unfortunate (I mean, they should get a fucking ramp) but none of the people I said that too were offended by the practical truth of it. Cause it's not the first time they've been made aware that their physical state means there's some things they can't do (at least without some prepwork).

I my middle school was mixed-ability or whatever you'd call that in english, so we had kids with all kinds of disabilities (mental, physical, both...) there, and parents, too. I totally agree with this, and so would many of my friends from back then. We used not to have an elevator, for example, so one of the parents, who was paralyzed, would hop up the stairs on her butt. She did that at home, too, and the athmosphere was familliar enough among the parents and teachers that she said it was OK, but when a kid with a higher level disability came to take classes in the two-story-building, they did build an elevator.
So sometimes the question whether to make certain spaces accessible doesn't have to be answered in full from the get-go, as long as you stay open to accomodate people according to their needs. I just can't find myself agreeing with a statement like "I want to live in a world where they first build a ramp for wheelchairs to go in the room and then hang the disco ball." As long as disabled people can be sure that people will try their best to accomodat them *when* they want to access a certain space, I don't think that it's necessary to accomodate for every possible thing in advance.

One close friend in particular got pretty far in life (college degree) despite a complex neuro-syndrome thing, and what she encountered during her education was that, yes, she was part of a minority, so she'd have to ask for special treatment (like being allowed to type her answers to tests insted of had-writing them), but as long as people weren't assholes about it (and up to college-graduation, they weren't), it didn't make her feel bad. She was always sure people would help her. She was never mad that there were no computers she could borrow at the school, as long as she was allowed to bring her own.
It was only when she failed her driver's license exam because the superviser asked her during the practical exam if she had a disability and she told the truth instead of just putting her tremors off as nervousness, that she got really frustrated, because at that point she'd had lots of driving classes, and had proven that she *could* drive.
