The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

I think there's going to be a lot of nuance to the answer. Is it the disability itself they don't like or behavior peripheral to it but which exacerbates the problems?
Old people develop physical disabilities, and even though they get shit on around here a lot because of inaccurate assumptions about how they voted or whether they've owned a home, they should be shown compassion and patience for their disabilities. I recently went on a day tour where the description was very clear that there would be this much walking over uneven surfaces and this many stairs, etc., and still some people held up the whole tour for several minutes wanting to stay on the bus when the bus was supposed to be driving off somewhere else entirely. The whole tour plan was to take the bus out and walk back. Their disabilities came into play but it was the context of them ignoring that they couldn't do what was required. They should have signed up for a different tour.
I had a friend with a deaf roommate. I learned some sign language and tried to get to know them. It turned out they were a pretty selfish person who didn't want to do any of the household chores. Fine, nothing to do with being deaf. But this person would also answer the phone when I called but not be able to understand anything well enough to take down a message. That's very frustrating behavior related to their disability but worsened by some other problems with their personality. This was back in the time of land lines, and the apartment had an answering machine shared by everyone.
Does someone who acts like a total asshole, diverting every conversation to niche topics only they find interesting and saying many careless and rude things, deserve some slack because the root cause has been diagnosed as an official disability? Sure, I think that's fine. But people are still going to get frustrated by it and sometimes leave that person out if they aren't in the mood for a social battle. They shouldn't be relaying suggestions to jump off a cliff, but I could still see those people being allies of the disabled overall, if not perfect in their execution.
