Why keep putting in impossible tasks?

I just got to stage 4 of "Unforgivable Truth". Upon reading the tasks....I feel sick. The first task is to complete 20 great spell casts in a row. Now...as someone with autism and fine motor issues, I can barely make great casts, let alone maintain the consistency to perform several in a row. And 20? Forget it. Most of what I have done in my achievements has been with help from others who play. In fact I recall a task in a previous event that wanted 5 greats in a row. I cried for days trying to accomplish that.
I really do try to like this game, you know? I have shed tears on multiple occasions, paid real money into it, slogged through countless challenges....and I find the story to be the most interesting part of the game, which has, until now, kept me going.
But....I have seen multiple posts, on here, on Twitter, on other places...all begging niantic to stop making this game so impossible and blatantly discriminatory against those of us with disabilities. They don't seem to be listening. And...I don't know how long I can hold out before I just can't continue. Maybe I should just stick to Pokemon Go. That game so far hasn't strayed into the impossible.

20 in a row is a typo. it's 20 overall, I did 5 fair-good at the start of that page/task and they counted.
That is helpful, Drakonite. Thank you.
re-reading my comment, confusing lol I was probs tired: you'll need 20 greats, not 20 greats in a row. I did some great casts followed by some fair/good casts then some more great casts and the counter did not go back to 0, it continued counting up to 20. So 20 in a row is a typo.
I agree with the sentiment, though. A careless error leaving 'in a row' there will lose players. Even 5 Great Casts may not seem like a big ask, but if it's not a spell that comes up often, it's really tough. They should at least have it appear more often during the challenge. I think I do pretty well, but I've not finished several of the last events, after maxing out levels on nearly all of them the first year and a half. Remote battles were a brilliant addition; these recent challenges don't feel well thought out.
This needs to be fixed Immediately! Unfortunately I had issues in the last challenge, with things not counting when they should have, and I was dismissed by customer care. My husband who plays with me all the time on his own account played for two days over the weekend, and couldn’t find one of the traces required for the task, while I got them all. So frustrating. Issues like this are really making us consider walking away after over a year of playing.
please fix this issue! This is a simple IT fix.
