It's sad but true.
I've worked with disabled people before and I find myself doing it. We get used to fast paced conversations and we want to find things out quickly and not hang about. It often feels quicker/easier to ask the helper/parent/friend of a disabled person than the person themselves. This is of course a terribly selfish thing to do.
There is a great radio programme on the BBC for/about disabled people called "Do they take sugar?". Sums it up perfectly.
