Perfectly Normal
Wonder is the kind of person that dislikes calling himself “disabled”. That was not how his mother raised him and he did not see his lack of sight as a disadvantage or something to complain about. His mother had not been overbearing either, having allowed him to fumble in his own stead and learn from his mistakes. Of course, she would support him in his time of need. But she refused to baby her son by holding his hand.

Wonder finished by saying, “[My mom would] tell me to be careful, but I was going to do what I was going to do. She was just fast enough to catch me. She knew I had to learn – and the more she allowed me to do, the more she could let go.” Wonder might not have become the person that he is today if he had not enjoyed such a wonderful mother. He proved that he was capable of anything, just how his mother had convinced him.
