Thank you for your post. Maybe some can understand that Mark has a Disability, that he try’s to enjoy his life the best he can.

But then again some think of you are not the norm, you should not be in public, as some have stated. If Mark scares you, it’s a big square, you have your space he should have his.

Hoping posters will take a little more patience, after all, a Disability may be in your future. Hopefully someone will be kind to you.
