No, it means you haven't had enough exposure to handicapped people. This doesn't mean that you have any excuse to be mean or rude to them, but being nervous is totally natural. Handicapped people often have movements or posturing that are unusual and humans are presdisposed to be nervous around anything that we don't understand. Just tell yourself that they are getting along as best they can with the cards they've been dealt.
