This is why I think it essential for people to declare any difficulties that they have to prevent any misunderstanding further down the line, though I think it should ultimately be for the disabled person to decide whether to self declare or not.

I think that there will need to be a lot of training/retraining if moderators are to stay on the right side of the law and act appropriately, particularly as they could be personally fined as a result (and some don't even get paid to do it).
