    Wow, that would suck, being lectured about not being handicapped when you actually are handicapped.

    Yes, it would be horrible. He has a limited amount of lung capacity- if he uses it up explaining to his condition to people he’ll be in real trouble.

    I imagine you could have some flyers ready to hand out explaining your condition, but I also imagine that could rile the parking spot monitors even more.

    I was thinking flyers, or maybe a card like profoundly deaf people often carry to give to strangers who get upset with them for not talking. Those cards seem to do a pretty good job of shutting people up.

    Or he could carry a cane if he just wanted to be left alone.
