Q: I'm an 18-year old high school senior who gets around in a wheelchair. My question is: Why are people always making decisions for me? Like at last year's Thanksgiving Day parade, it was chilly and this old lady came rushing up to me and, without even asking, threw a blanket on my lap! Also, is it wrong for me to resent it?
