I've seen a few disabled people who are the first ones to reach out to others. They smile, make small talk, crack a joke, keep candy and give it away - things like that - to combat this issue. It is sort of like beating someone to the punch but in a nice way. Anyway, it is an admirable approach and appears to be fairly effective. I tend to forget the person had a handicap when I an engaged with them in conversation or a laugh.
The "all" of you is not disabled. Use what you have to your advantage. A lovely personality goes a long way to combat any disability.
