Whenever people talk about reasonable adjustments for autism or ADHD they're like "why can't they treat this like someone needs a ramp, because they're in a wheelchair". Don't mean to burst bubbles, but they also don't do it for wheelchair users. Have both, can confirm.
I see it all the time "if you were a wheelchair user they wouldn't ask if you could just get up and use the stairs". Can confirm, has happened repeatedly. They do that. "No one would think you're pretending if you're in a wheelchair" tick. Has happened, routinely.
It lulls ppl into a false sense of security where they believe that physical access and acceptance for "obviously" disabled people has actually been achieved. But it hasn't. Just like it hasn't for what we call "invisible" disability. And existing in that intersection is awkward.
It's just ableism that manifests in different ways because each comes with a different set of "breached" normative expectations. But either way, it's ableism, and regardless of how or why you are disabled, trust me, accessibility is a huge issue.
