    I’m not sure what experiences you have had where you were ever in a situation where a disabled person came to you looking for in-depth support, but that isn’t the norm.

    You can very easily set a boundary with others outside of your team, but realize that not supporting somebody on your team and setting them up to succeed can cause a negative outcome. You don’t need to hold their hand, just explain what they don’t understand or find someone who can.

    I have my needs not met all the time in public settings. It sucks, but that’s life. Everyone is doing the same thing.

    Everybody should have their needs met and that is an ideal that is worth striving for.

    If you’re not called or have it in you to help support disabled people, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not discrimination. But I will say that being a good neighbor and a friend to others is something most people notice and respect. Even the smallest acts of kindness towards disabled people can be appreciated more than you know.

    You don’t need to spend effort to be kind, depending on your disposition. Thanks for engaging.
