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.

Where can someone apply for disability benefits?

Where someone applies for disability benefits depends on the country they live in. Each country has its own government system for disability support. In the United States, people apply through the Social Security Administration. This is where programs like Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income are handled. Applications can be done online, by phone, or at a local office. In the United Kingdom, disability benefits are managed by the Department for Work and Pensions. People usually apply for Personal Independence Payment or Employment and Support Allowance. The process often starts online or by phone. In India, disability benefits are handled by state and central government offices. The first step is getting a disability certificate from a government hospital. After that, applications are made through social welfare departments or local offices. In Australia, disability benefits are provided by Services Australia. People apply for the Disability Support Pension by submitting medical and work details. In most other countries, disability benefits are handled by a government social welfare or social security office. A local government office can explain the rules and help with the application. This answer is based on general public information, and I am not connected to any government agency.
