I have Autism, which does classify as a disability, but mine is mild. If you saw me, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with me. I wouldn't be offended if someone asked straight-on, but that's just me. Some people are offended very easily if you accused them of having a disability.

You MUST know that this person will not get offended by you asking them. Lots of people will be, lots of people will not be. Most likely, an NT (neuro-typical, "normal") person would get offended if you were to ask them if they had a disability. Hard part is, you don't know if they're NT or not.

In conclusion, simply don't ask. Just be accepting of them either way. What would change if you found out a person had a disability, but you were already accepting over them? Nothing. That's the point. Just be accepting, and you don't even have to worry about asking.
