I gotta hand it to What would you do for useing TV to teach people how to be good citizens which includes how to treat people with different ablities. Last night's show was no exception, on that episode it showed two people with disablties ( a little person and a lady in the wheelchair) and people 's reactions to them in the suppermakert. Both of those clips are worth the watch;however, I want to take a look at the one of the person in a wheelchair
People with disabilities are not hopeless and do not need help all the time. As I said earlier people with Disabilities do become adults and the public has to be reminded of that. Recently one of the basketball players mom( I play on the special olympics team) handled my money for me even though I am able to handle my own money. In that case I did not mind because I knew the lady and i know she meant no harm i told her after the fact. That is why you need to ask people with disablties for help before you help because they might be able to do it themsleves

Yes, it is a fundamental tenet of disability ettiquette that you ask the person if they want help, and only then do you help.
Good to know that she had good intentions and that you can handle your own money.
Talk to the person at the level?
