[header] How to ask about someone's disability [title] Consider whether the information is relevant. [step] If it's not really relevant to you, then asking is probably rude. People with visible disabilities generally get asked the same questions a lot of times, and they may get tired of answering again and again. 
Mind your own business when it comes to disabled strangers or acquaintances. [substeps] Avoid asking if you aren't having a conversation with them, or if it's not relevant to the conversation.
