Double amputee Jessica Long, who is training for the 2021 Paralympics in Tokyo, often wears prosthetics. The 28-year-old was born with a birth defect called fibular hemimilia and had both of her legs amputated at 18 months so she could learn to walk with prosthetics. When she was parking in the handicapped area, a woman had looked ‘disgusted’ at Jessica and came over to ask her why she had parked there.
