I’m disabled and I’ve had these kinds of people try to “lay hands” on me. Usually I just walk away (well, I hobble away, lol.) but one time a few years ago we were at a Christmas party for my husband’s company. We were at a table with my husband’s boss and his wife. The wife was asking me about our family and pushing about why we only had one kid. “Well, I have several health issues and I’m infertile.” Long story short, she cornered me and went on and on about how sad it is that we only have one kid and “God is telling me that you’re meant to have more babies. I can just feel it.” Towards the end of the party she says “can I pray for you?” And I’m thinking she means in her nightly prayers at home or at worst in her Bible Study Group or Church on Sunday. So I say “Sure.” She suddenly grabs me and grips my upper arm with one hand and puts her other hand on my head. In a fairly loud voice she says, “Oh Lord! I ask that you heal your servant! Make her whole again! Feel her faith in you, oh lord! Take away this devilish evil disease that plagues her body and her womb! We ask that she may feel the joy of life growing within her once again, Lord! To know a woman’s purpose and joy on this Earth…” It went on. I just kind of froze in panic. I felt like I couldn’t be rude to her because it might affect my husband’s job, but at the same time, how fucking rude was she?! I also panicked because she’s just yelling all this personal and, frankly, traumatic shit out to this whole party and sometimes when I have a panic attack, I freeze and dissociate. When she was done with her prayer she smiled and said “there. You’ll be pregnant in no time.” My husband just glared at her and pulled me out of there without saying goodbye to anyone. At the next year’s Christmas party I found out the boss and her had gotten divorced in that year. He pulled me aside and apologized to me for her “poor and rude behavior” the previous year and apologized for not stepping in to stop her in the moment. So that was sweet.

It’s so true about these types of people going after those with disabilities. I myself am blind and have a guide dog. I went to Berkeley for college perhaps maybe an unexpected place for people to think I would encounter this. I was minding my own business booking it through the main plaza leaving class going to my internship at the radio station. A group of three in van Jellicle‘s stopped me and asked if they could pray for me. I said I’m so sorry but I really need to run to work I’m running late. They would not take no for an answer and I thought OK I’m always down for a prayer even if I’m not religious it can’t harm. But I didn’t realize they were going to make this big scene the three of them instead of quietly just praying near me circled around me put their hands on me, and started praying for my vision to return. After a few minutes, the leader of them said do you feel different can you see now?! I was like no! But I do have to go now and I promptly ran off with my yellow lab. I think the irony of all the stuff is it’s pretty righteous of you to think that something is wrong with me and that God didn’t make me this way in his own vision for me. Again I’m not religious but I was raised Catholic and don’t practice anymore, but to just use their own ideology, God creates each of us as he sees fit and with a purpose so to be so righteous to think you have the power to undo gods will for me is ridiculous. My little two cents and all this.

I have no idea what the original commenter's situation is, but I wouldn't be surprised if they used text-to-speech: see "in van Jellicle's" when I'm pretty sure they meant "evangelicals." That might've been an autocorrect error too, but it seems very much like it may be text-to-speech to me. I can't help but feel like I detect a bit of sarcasm in your comment, but I'm hoping that's not the case! It would be odd to accuse someone of faking a disability without good reason, so I'm assuming your question is genuine. So yeah! There's a lot of cool technology out there nowadays and blind folks have always been good at working with what they have regardless. :)
