having written my last email, i am going to seem insane, but realing the  
email below, i have to ask
"why is it courageous for an adult to ask about a pwd?"  i see people  all 
the time who make me wonder this or that, but I'd never invade their day by  
asking personal questions.  i just know the world is full of all kinds and  
really understanding a person comes only by getting to know them.  having  them 
answer a few questions would only give me some facts and runs the risk of  
irritating them.
 
if a person went up to an over weight person and started asking weight  
related questions, that would be considered very rude.  if someone went up  to 
people of certain races and asked racial questions, that would be very odd. i  
could go on and on, but i do wonder why the feeling is pwd are obligated to  
educate when other groups aren't held to that.
 
i really am going now - and i can see you all at my heels chasing me  out.
 
i wish you all well.

Your  comments are kind of abrupt and don't really educate the folks  
who  had the courage to ask you...Now if they were being rude and not   
genuinely interested then I would be quick too...But what if they   
really want to understand PWD better?  I guess it is just the  teacher  
in me always trying to educate people.  When I get  asked I usuall  
have a couple minute conversation!!  Course, I  like to talk alot, too!!
