Where are all the disabled people???

We’ve been in SE Asia for almost eight months and between the four of us, we’ve seen three disabled people. We’ve seen one woman in a wheel chair sitting outside her house in Phuket, and two down syndrome babies here in China. And that’s it.

Since there are ZERO wheelchair accessible buildings/stores/anything, we’re guessing that people in wheel chairs must just have to live at home. But then what about people with mental disabilities? We hang out in Guangzhou (a huge city with over 10,000,000 people) at least once a week and we’ve never seen a single disabled person. Do they kill them when they’re babies?????

As usual, I asked my Chinese friends (who are finally getting used to my offensive questions about their culture) and they said that Chinese people are much more healthy than Westerners so they rarely have disabled babies. So there you have it!! There are no disabled children born in a county that has the worst air/water pollution in the entire world, where there’s Lead in EVERYTHING, 75%-85% of men smoke in their homes while their wives are pregnant, and their food has off the charts levels of pesticides. Cool.
