ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Abasiophilia

Abasiophilia is when someone finds pleasure or excitement in seeing people who have difficulty walking or are unable to walk. It is like having a special interest in people who use wheelchairs or crutches. This interest can sometimes include a desire to touch or be close to people who use assistive devices. However, it is important to remember that people with disabilities are just like everyone else and should always be treated with respect and dignity.
