While true that a lot of people with disabilities want to be treated normally and don't want hands held... can we truly say this is true for everyone?
No, we can't. The one thing that most of us can agree on though is that we don't need people fighting our battles for us all the time. A lot of people with disabilities can fight their own battles fine. Sure, there are those who can't, but let's not start defending everyone just because one person can't do it themselves.
Also, did you know a lot of people with disabilities need a little hand holding? We don't need it 24/7 or for everything, but for certain things we do need a hand to hold to be able to function well enough. I for one can't leave my house alone without running the risk of having an anxiety attack, so if I go anywhere I do need someone with me. Especially if I need to speak with someone, as my anxiety can make it so I can't talk at all no matter how hard I try.
