When you say “help them with a task I think they might struggle with,” the optimum part of that statement may be ‘I think’ they would struggle with. Many people with disabilites struggle to just be viewed as capable, viable, productive members of society. Perhaps you would do better to ask, ‘May I help you with that?’ It would not be as intrusive as just taking over. Also, just because a person has disabilities doesn’t mean they are any more tolerant or ‘nice’ than anyone else.
