Many disabled people have lived with their handicaps for a very long time, and thus would usually develop a means of coping in a way where they appear "normal." Sometimes this applies naturally, like a blind person using all of their other senses to the point where they forget that they are blind. In most cases (and because it's cool), the trope usually applies to someone who uses superpowers to compensate, like getting around with levitation despite being paralyzed. Because of this, running gags and moments of awkward silence are born from the times when the characters around them are suddenly reminded that one is disabled. Compare with You Know I'm Black, Right?; contrast with Ignore the Disability. |

In The Funniest Minecraft Videos Ever with the Better End Mod, Tommy and Phil find a biome with wildly colorful crystal spires. They bring some crystals back and excitedly show them to George... forgetting that George is colorblind.note Specifically, George has severe red-green colorblindness. The crystals Phil and Tommy were showing him were various shades of pink and purple, meaning George perceived all of them as blue. | |

A Quiet Place Part II: Emmett chews Regan out early in the film for running off without telling him.. except that he's not facing her and she's deaf. Finally, she grabs him by the head, points him toward her face, and whispers, "Enunciate." | |

The occasional scene in later seasons of Grey's Anatomy which feature Arizona limping or otherwise drawing attention to her being an amputee for a short period of time — beyond this, the rest of the time she is just as effective running to crashing patients or dodging her co-workers as everyone else despite only having one leg. | |

In Rogue One, Chirrut ÃŽmwe is a Guardian of the Whills, a Warrior Monk and Blind Weaponmaster who fairly effortlessly takes down a squad of Imperial stormtroopers with his skills. When a group of Saw Gerrara's Partisans captures them and shoves a sack over their heads to take them to Saw, Chirrut snaps out an indignant, "Are you kidding me!? I'm blind!" | |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Wu Zi Mu is first met during a car race, and The Reveal that he's blind comes as a surprise to CJ. There are a few scenes where the joke is that he's blind (running into a wall or shooting randomly) and a few where other people forget about it, such as the heist planning scenes. | |

This has happened to the character who is disabled in Better Call Saul. Chuck McGill, the older brother of main character Jimmy, is convinced that he has developed a painful sensitivity to all electronics and anything that uses or conducts electricity, which has turned him from one of the most prestigious and influential lawyers in the state to a rather pitiful shut-in. Although Chuck's symptoms are psychosomatic, at times he has gone into a catatonic state reminiscent of locked-in syndrome. On a few occasions however, Chuck has been so distracted by other things that he has failed to react to those same external stimuli and situations that otherwise cause him so much grief. | |

Nerdist Podcast: The Radiorama special with the Futurama cast has a subplot in which Fry buys Leela a custom 3D-projected sculpture, which offends her because, as a cyclops, she's incapable of viewing it properly. She forgives him at the end of the episode when he explains he doesn't define her by her disability. | |

Tom Stewart of Tormented is talking with Mrs. Ellis, a blind resident of the island, about a strange supernatural event that occurred in the past, and he absently asks her if she saw anything herself; she quips back, "It's been many years since I've seen anything."
