I believe you had good intentions. And maybe I brought my own baggage to this thread.
Anyway, I said what I did because it can be frustrating for folks with disabilities to be told things like "I believe in you". These well-intentioned responses indicate that you don't believe their disability is real.
If you tell me you have a disability, I believe you. I didn't see them say that outright. It was very open to interpretation. 🙂
