Default work culture and job expectations are basically designed around the idea that you are hiring a married man whose wife is cooking, cleaning etc and all he has to do is his paid job. This is simply not reality in most cases.

Also, while only 15 to 20 percent of people qualify as officially disabled, studies suggest that at least 60 percent of people have some degree of impairment that would benefit from accommodation.

I suspect the above two factors are the root cause of seemingly nice people who are seemingly resistant to change and just can't get their act together.

These days, even just getting oneself adequately fed without excess time and expense seems to be a challenge for a large number of people. We have a variety of services trying to address that issue but, really, it probably needs something more like a cultural shift to address it effectively.
