Maybe the chronic pain played a part here? I struggle with handwriting and I don’t have chronic pain and I’m considered able bodied. I have anxiety every time I have to sign something. Perhaps refusing autographs was self care.

Every famous person talks about how if you try to be nice and sign someone's autograph before long everyone starts asking for autographs and it turns into this whole big thing

Honestly, no The transaction between you and the fans behind and ends with them buying the ticket and seeing the show Nobody is required to be on the job 24/7 just because they made a lot of money on that job, especially not a disabled performer with chronic pain
