No. Everyone, instead of the affected person being blamed. Of course there are those in ivory towers doing a lot of waffling but the structural/societal view is always more productive than an individualist one which is ignoring the networked nature if reality in favour of optmistic idealism (bootstraps!).

From my perspective, bootstrapping is reality. It is the people who deny that who are ignoring reality in favor of idealistic but false paradigms.

Who would ever blame a disabled person for their condition?

Blaming people who have nothing to do with it is exactly the modern ideology that twists people into evil.

Just a small correction to your question, it’s more like “who would ever say a disabled person is solely responsible for providing their own accommodations?”

Good correction. In my experience, some people will say "It's society who is responsible to help the disabled person", and some people will say "It's I who am responsible to help the disabled person".
