FYI: This goes double for someone in a wheelchair. Ask first before you 'help' them by grabbing the handles and pushing them along. Consider the wheelchair part of their body. Ask first before grabbing the chair just like you ask first before grabbing someone's arm.
If you really want to help people, accept their input on what is actually helpful.

I'm an old white man and I learned a simple solution to this long ago - ask first.
edit: You wouldn't think a comment like this would generate misogynistic comments, but here we are.
