I feel it was quite lucky that this man was on a syringe driver which lead me to asking the question but if he had just been on oral medication I would not have asked and when he just suddenly froze on me I would have not been as understanding as I was when I knew about the condition.
I do not think DW is being discriminatory at all she is just stating a fact I have quite wide knowledge of certain conditions but if this man had froze walking up stairs before I knew he had Parkinsons it could have been dangerous for him and I would have had no idea what was going on so I would have been very concerned. He did have slightly slurred speech but I could tell this was not from alcohol so just presumed he had maybe had a stroke and that the speech was due to this.
I think the consensus of opinion is that he should have told me before the booking which was my feeling at the time but I do not think it is a question I am going to include in my screening

I certainly did not make him feel awkward I am a trained heath professional with over 20 years experience in this sector I have dealt with a lot of people with neurological problems including Parkingsons, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, locked in syndrome also CVA's (strokes)
It was lucky for him that it was me he booked and that he was using a syringe driver which gave me the indication that he could be using continuous medication for something like Parkinsons or another lady could have been telephoning the emergency services when he froze which would certainly have been embarrassing for him
Your reply did imply that I made him feel awkward but it was the opposite he froze and I had enough medical knowledge to use the boost facility on his syringe driver to increase the dose of the stimulant which got him moving again without the need for any other medical intervention.
My question about him disclosing his disability was mainly because I was ok with him because of my background where a sw without knowedge of the condition may not have been able to cope with the situation

I did say 'not that you said you did make him feel awkward' I haven't worked in healthcare but unfortunately I do have first hand experience of Parkinson's.

I am happy to see disabled clients, but what really upsets me if guys who dont say, or say at the last minute, after we have finalised a booking, it annoys me because how do they know my incall place is adapted for them, they should be upfront. i had to cancel one guy as he needed a bed rail which i do not have.

I do believe that any man has the right to book a escort just as any escort has the right to turn down a man for any reason. I do have concerns where there is a disability or illness which affects consent as this could put the sw at risk of being accused of exploitation especially if the mans family find out he has been paying a sex worker and a fair few men with learning disabilities or on the autistic spectrum are not very discreet so it would be quite easy for the family found out at some point. It can be a problem with boundaries with some of the men with these issues and the last thing I want is someone with issues thinking that he has a girlfriend after one session with me. I also will not proceed with a booking that has been booked by a carer unless I am totally confident that the client knows what he has booked, knows the price and is happy to proceed. I do think the screening in these cases needs to be as much about ensuring you are protected from accusations as anything else.
I do not advertise as providing a service for disabled men as access for anyone with mobility problems would be difficult but I am happy to see anyone with a physical disfigurement (such as ex service men who have been wounded for example) as long as they tell me about any issues and as long as I am confident that I can give them the experience they want. If the men tell me of any issues I can also plan in more time for them to dress and undress which is to their advantage as it make for a more relaxed meeting but everyone is different and I think it is much better to be open and refuse a booking than it is to feel pressurised into taking a booking and then dreading it.

I did once see a client who had cerebral palsy. I had plenty of correspondence with him via text and email. My background is in the Healthcare Sector, so I understood and was willing to adapt to other ways of communication. My safety being paramount, as it was a first time visit to this person and an out-call, I had a friend on the end of the line.

I met a very charming, engaging man, whom I got on with immediately. We communicated through his Ipad as he had trouble to vocalise. I realised straight away that he needed quite a lot of assistance to get on the bed and undressed etc. I was physically having move him around, which I was worried about hurting myself, but I just wasn't sure how this would play out?

It all kicked of and was ok as soon as he was on the bed, he became quite active and I must say that I had a great time with him overall. However be it due to my background as a support worker and other personal reasons , I did refuse to see him again.

Personally I don't think I was the right person for him. I have heard of the TLC Trust and other such organisations that specialise in disabled clients wanting to meet ladies.
