Other YSK That many people with a disability consider their aides (wheelchair, etc.) an extension of themselves. You should ask before touching or moving them.

Read this article and was surprised to hear how many people struggle with this. Even if you are trying to help, you should ask first.

Does the episode address the aids/aides mixup? I only remember the town getting confused over an aides/AIDS mixup.

As far as I remember it's just AIDS and aides.

But I feel like every time I rewatch an episode I find a new hidden message or interpretation, so who knows
