Why do some people still show so little consideration for disabled people?

[IcyUmberCrow]

I keep bumping into the same pattern: on paper, the UK is all “be kind,” and we’ve got anti-discrimination laws. In real life? Doors let go in my face, priority seats ignored, people roll their eyes at reasonable adjustments, “invisible” needs dismissed as drama. It’s the casual stuff that wears you down.

TL;DR: Laws and slogans exist. Consideration often doesn’t. Why—and what fixes it in the real world?

I've noticed this has become worse. It's like my basic needs are an inconvenience to some people

Disabled people have always been at the bottom of the list of priorities. "Be kind" and DEI doesn't really include them.
I think it comes down to awful parenting and general selfishness and self absorption together with authorities pandering to the loudest voices. If you are struggling just to get through each day, you haven't got the time or energy to fight your corner
