Dear Shana, Please be polite. When a stutterer is trying really hard to make a point he needs to finish what he started to say. After a long stuttering period to get a point accross there is actually a sense of satisfaction in the individual at the difficult accomplishment. Getting that sentence out means as much to them as finishing a race to you. You don't have to come in first place, but just finishing is important. You will increase their frustration and feeling of failure by cutting them off or making them feel like they are wasting your time. Please be patient.

In 1994 a family friend with Muscular Dystrophy died. I contacted the Muscular Dystrophy Association and it didn't take me very long before I had the number of Jerry Lewis' home. Unfortunately, it was mid August and he was out preparing for the telethon. Call MDA. Thomas

Thanks Lori. I am in a wheelchair and I REALLY appreciate people offering to open or hold a door for me. As for anything else, asking is the perfect way to handle it. Thanks for the help. Sincerely, Thomas

I agree with Susan. Also, there are alot of us in wheelchairs or braces or crutches that seldom get out of the house and can't even sit up for very long. I can only be up and around for about four hours at a time and I need those special considerations when I go somewhere special. Thanks, Thomas
