if you ever interact with someone who is mentally ill/mad/pathologised or disabled in some way, assume they are trying hard enough. act as if they are trying hard enough. dont even consider it an option that they arent trying hard enough. if they are failing to meet some goal or expectation, it is despite trying hard enough.
Just do this in general. Don't wait for them to tell you they're disabled. Everybody is trying as hard as can to do the things they care about.
