By "the authorities" I assume you mean the police, or the prosecution service. They would be obliged to consider this under the Equality Act.
However if you are proposing that disabled people have to declare this to every Internet forum, social media platform they use, and their ISP (and all of these become arbiters of what disabilities are sufficient, and which aren't) then you are having a laugh.
