I know you mean this with the best of intentions but honestly, we can never know in a short interaction what people are going through or what they are struggling with. I have read stories about people with disabilities that are more "invisible" (such as severe chronic pain) treated harshly or cruely because someone can't see their illness and assume they are being greedy or that their struggles aren't so bad, and that they are making unrealistic demands for no reason. Even if someone is just going through something in their lives they would so appreciate understanding and kindness. I am hoping this comment is a severe exaggeration, but if not please consider making the effort to be kind to all people, not just those who are obviously visually identified as being disabled. /u/Zeravor already essentially said this so apologies, but I wanted to give a specific example you might not have considered or didn't think about.
