[NFB-Idaho] invading a blind person's personal space

[president at nfbidaho.org]

I think you might bae right. I haven't had anyone grab me to go across the
street for years. I have had people touch me to guide me around construction
sites in road construction, but if I ask to take their elbow, I have been
respected.

Hello,

 

I was walking home from getting my haircut the other day, and this guy
approached me at a major intersection, and asked me, "May I help you cross
the street?" I thought it was so nice of him to ask and not grab me mby the
arm and force himself into helping me.  Is this something that is changing
for all of us?  What do you think?

 

Have a good weekend!

 

Coleen
