As would anyone else. Disabled ppl should have equal rights and should be treated as everyone else. And that includes helping them like I would anyone else ... Not standing looking at them or walking away. That would just be insulting and fkd up imo of course you don't rush and grab them. You ask are you ok, may I help you |

Of course I'd offer to help. It shows ppl don't really understand how disabled ppl feel. They want to be treated like any1 else, and if you would offer a normal person help, you should offer them help.

The thing is, you don't have to touch someone to help them. I came off my bike a few months ago, gashed my hands up. Another cyclist stopped and asked if i was okay, if i needed help. It was nice to have him stop. He was actually the reason i crashed but it was just one of those things, i didn't blame him. I picked myself up, as you have to if you wanna be careful of finding damage. Another guy stopped, and between them they had plasters and water. If i was disabled, and had tipped a mobility scooter, the same treatment would've been ideal. You can't just grab me, but you can ask, and be there, and be supportive. It depends, because a disability doesn't necessarily mean i can't get up by myself. Or it may do. But that's why you ask. That and respecting their space. Grab me without my permission and i'm seeing that as intrusive, it's rude. But have that option at the ready and i'll be thankful. Disabled or not, they're gonna feel like an idiot, i think simply offering an option of support is key. |

Now the car crash is another example. People tried to help me out the car. I had to shout to get them to let go, i was in agony. Nobody knew it, but i had thirteen fractures. I managed, on my own, to get down the side of the car and sit up against the wheel. I bled internally for five days. One of my ribs punctured a lung. Yes it's an extreme example, but another reason you have to be careful with people - they have all manner of conditions, not all are mentally stable, some have brittle bones and a mere fall can cause fractures, you just don't know what you're dealing with so you have to air caution. |

@ slago - 20.08.17 - 08:39pm it would depend on the situation This! It actually depends on the situation. In a most basic situation like this, I'd help them right away. In an extreme situation, I'd prolly assess everything first. Use your own instinct. |
