The key to not discriminating based on ability is to be sure you are endeavoring to enable a person to do something to the best of their abilities and not insisting that the only people allowed to do something are those who are best suited for it. But there is a separation between "not an ideal candidate for this job" and "not reasonably able to do this job".

Indeed, sometimes the person with the disability can be better at the job because of what they have learned in an effort to overcome - this is why you don't just slap a label on a person and declare them unfit because they match a description.

Being tolerant, respecting differences, however you want to put it does not mean being blind to outcomes.

People sometimes don't get this.
