Most people tend to be kind and helpful towards disabled people, it's the ones that aren't that are the problem.
As I have already explained, most people are horrified when it's pointed out that they are being offensive. They immediately apologise and make amends.
The law is there to deal with those who carry on being offensive on purpose or who do it out of malice.
Most issues are resolved by having a word with the offenders (in fact, any resultant court case will expect the aggrieved person to have tried to sort things out informally first).
Legal action is considered as a last resort solution, so it's imperative that anyone experiencing discrimination, less favourable treatment, failure to make adjustments etc keeps records and evidence in case things cannot be resolved amicably.
