But if they are right behind you I would agree.

Well, I meant, if they were pretty much right behind you, or in front of you, or in your general line of travel. I don't mean like, waiting 10 minutes for them to reach the door (unless there's really nobody else around and you have nothing else to do) because that might be insulting to them. But seriously, if they're RIGHT THERE and so are you, it won't kill you to hold a door for them or help them if they need it.
(I'm sort of bitter toward people who are rude to disabled people - my mom's been in a wheelchair/using a walker since I was 6.)
