The prevailing public perception is that everything people with disability do is a challenge. Sometimes, that is true. In those times, we may ask or say “yes” to a kind and respectful offer of assistance. Other times, and more often than not, we are simply navigating daily life when a person without disability interjects to offer assistance.
It is rare anyone means to be discriminatory in their approach to supporting people with disability, but society’s attitude still has a way to go.
