They weren't exactly doing the same things, but it seems more like you having a problem with Clyde not being in Lincoln's shadow as far as that episode is concerned.

Also, it's not confirmed that Lola has a disability. She really just didn't know how to read. Lincoln having anxiety attacks is also a norm for some people who have a difficult time with certain tasks. Unlike Loudest Yard, he actually did try to commit to building stuff but had anxiety spasms and believed he couldn't do it as he found the blueprints too difficult to understand. As someone whose writing a fic that's based on a phobia, I can tell you those symptoms are quite real. It's not so much him being lazy, it's just he didn't believe in himself enough until he fully realized he could push through and try. This is much like how Lola put off reading because she had a difficult time doing so and made up excuses before revealing the reason why. In the end, both managed to accomplish something that had been an issue for them.

In Loudest Yard, Lincoln simply didn't try because he wasn't athletic, even though Lynn tried to train him.
