[blindkid] Accepting help

[Eric Calhoun]

Hi Steve, I concur with your statement.  I also think, individually, that
help should not be forced upon us.  People grabbing someone, and sitting
them down like a baby, then gossipping about it under their breath.  I've
always tried to be nice to people, but I act on instinct.  In Los Angeles,
this is frowned upon us blind folks, especially in the inner city.  You
also answered a question that someone once asked me: Why won't you accept
help, even when you don't need it?  This also goes back to an article I
wrote in last year's Matilda Ziegler.

As someone who is blind, and is constantly in advocacy, I never get tired
of advocacy, self-advocacy or otherwise.  Whatever helps us, makes us
stronger.
