Hindsight is a wonderful thing............but in the past people have disconnected the autopilot when things have gone wrong, lost mental capacity and made some pretty poor decisions.......although there are some situations where autopilot disconnect is a memory item or sometimes it might be plain common sense to do so, but I would suggest you would "figure out what's going on" before you disconnect, and only if it's appropriate to do so!
