Wisconsin

with someone who relies on the ADA to give them adequate access to stuff.

I am fully abled, so i know I probably understand only a fraction of what I think I understand about this issue. But I am short enough, all of 5' 1.5" and shrinking, which means I have trouble reaching things high up, that I understand a little.

Several weeks ago I was in a store and walked down an aisle where a little person was looking at something on a high shelf, so I said, "Can I help you get something?" She gratefully asked me to reach down something from the top shelf that she needed, and I was happy to do so. In other stores, I'm short enough to need to ask someone taller to help me. I always say something like, "I know you are not my personal servant, but could you please help me here." No one has ever turned me down. And aside from the incident described above, I have often helped people having some kind of mobility or access issues. It's not hard. I may be on the short side, and my strength isn't so huge, but I don't really have any limitations on normal day-to-day stuff. I'm lucky, and I know it.
