Well maybe the OP could answer the 4 posts I have previously posted on this thread. And perhaps consider the millions who have a hidden disability, who don't have obvious outward signs. Try doing that...it is far harder.0

Its easy to point the finger at GlasweJen here as the post does sound a little bitter at not getting the job (as most of us are when we dont get a job that we believe were a good candidate for) and it sounds like there is no hard evidence for discrimination. However she knows what its like to be in a wheelchair and probably has better judgement of how people treat her than those of us not in the same situation so who knows (well actually the point I am making is that if anybody does know it would be GlasweJen!).
FBaby makes a really good point, of course not everybody in a wheelchair wants to be treated in the same way, to state the obvious folk in a wheelchair are individuals.
She has not told us a single thing that points to her being treated differently, apart from the chap who was useless with eye contact. It has been pointed out that this could indicate that he had a disability.
There's a fine line between asserting your rights and having a chip on your shoulder. Hopefully the OP will accept that she was not the best candidate for the job and move on. If not, she runs the risk of falling into the latter category.
Or maybe she got better news this morning and is off celebrating!0
