She did not want to be considered as sick, and she lived her life that way.

I don't think it is up to us to decide if someone should go through recruitment, but just give them the oportunity.
I think this is one of the most important things to remember when dealing with anybody ANYTIME (not just rush) that has any sort of disability. Take your cue from that person. Don't try to do too much for them - that can be just as bad as not doing enough. If they say they're fine and they don't need your help - BELIEVE THEM. They know their own limitations far better than you do.
