    It’s not about catering it’s about being a decent person and realizing just because someone might be struggling or making mistakes it doesn’t mean they are “bad and not trying”. Offer friendly advice(not “LOL you suck git gud”) and if the response is mocking or ignoring yeah go ahead and kick but if they are responding and communicating be patient and don’t kick.
    Since SE changed their ToS in regards to kicking in DF, people are now loathe to give advice for any reason, mentors or non, in equal parts. Getting reported for "telling another how to play" is not so uncommon as people think now, even if one says "make sure you get out of the AoEs".

    My emote when I join a dungeon essentially says "if you want anything specific like tips let us know, otherwise have fun" kind of thing. If people don't ask, I don't give anymore. It just isn't worth it.

    EDIT: The reason I say don't speak about your disability of any kind is something I went through.

    When I played an MMO back in the day, I was an officer in a guild. People respected me and RPed as well. It was great. Then one day we were talking OOCly, and I happened to bring up my anxiety disorder and some things I have toruble with. You know, things you bring up with friends you are comfortable with.

    After that day, things seemed fine until I started losing friends and then was removed from being an officer. The reason? I was seen as a "liability" because of my anxiety issues. They said I couldn't make good decisions because of it, and wanted someone more "normal".

    So take it from me, just keep your mouth shut.
