What if you have to declare at sign up (never going to happen), and then you get refused, what rights do site owners have?
Assuming you're referring to a neuro diverse person it all depends on a variety of factors. To correct you, although some disabled people may appear to be being a deliberate PITA, this is not the case for the individual themselves.

For example, people with dementia may ask a question, receive an answer and go on to ask the very same question 30 times more. This isn't being done to be annoying (even if it comes across as being so), nor is it being done on purpose, it's because their brain is dying and not functioning correctly as it does so.

Those who work in dementia care homes understand & accept this as part of the condition.

Refusal to supply goods & services based on an individuals protected status would be unlawful. If refusal is based on any other reason then it may not be.
