By my definition if people have to help you to get around then you are being treated differently. If your environment is designed so that you can get around unaided then you are being treated the same as everyone else.

O.k perhaps we have different definitions about being different and treated differently. Thailand has less nursing homes( I don't know any), because Thais are helping and taking care of the older folk...it's a norm..it's life in Thailand. Same as helping handicapped folk, it's the part of living in Thai community...it's the norm; building a ramp for handicapped veterans would not be a norm, it would be for the sake of tourists and helping tourism business in Thailand.
