I also suffer from SMA, but it's type 3, I'm a 20 year old female. I can do pretty much anything anyone else does, but I get tired quickly, can't lift heavy things (10lbs or more) and can't jump or run, etc. Reading through a few of your replies just made me really happy to see that you handle all this so well. My type 3 SMA still gives me everyday struggles, and this gives me courage to know that if you can handle your situation I can handle mine. Just wanted to say thank you for doing this AMA and you can let Emily know I as well love swimming!

This interests me because I have a disability, I am not super disabled on the scale of things, I can walk, go out independently, etc, but I feel the same. When I park in a handicap spot, I feel like I should leave it for someone else, someone less able and independent, despite the fact that I get tired easily and can't walk long distances. Do you get this guilt when you use these perks?
