I have worked with a few people in wheelchairs or using crutches; all were intelligent, one was a genius in his chosen field and had moderately to severe mental health problems, which a common side effect of thinking.

After my stroke, before I got my droopy face fixed & got back (mostly) good speech, it was UNBELIEVABLE how crappy people treated me when they thought I couldn't respond...a few were looking for new jobs after my very detailed & articulate complaint letters showed up! (I'm talking to you, Bus driver guy!)

No, I never assume someone in a wheelchair has mental issues.
