There was a blind window cleaner (he must've had some limited vision though; people who are blind are rarely 100% blind) who recently made the papers since he unfortunately got ran over by a car and killed.  He was a top athlete; a runner; and competed in the para Olympics (or was wanting to).

You've got to respect guys like this who just get on with their life despite their disabilities.  I've two arms, two legs, slanty eyes, and I moan like a little girl on a Monday morning.

I hope thats not the bloke who went round with the barrow. I had a lot of respect for him, for getting up and making a living the way he did.
if it is dirty it is fair game

One of my employees has only one arm, but we just tied an Unger pole onto the stub and stuck a squeegee on top, he manages really well.
He also has no legs from the knees down, but we put some stilts on him, they are the extendible type which saves us money with ladders. He can reach about 10.5ft High!

Because he is disabled we can park the van where others cant, which saves us money on parking etc
