Using JQuery (which your What I have Tried example suggests you're using), there's the disabled property, which you can access as follows:

JavaScript

if ($('#follow').prop('disabled') {
  // do stuff
}

You can also use prop() to set the property, by passing true or false as a second parameter:

JavaScript

$('#follow').prop('disabled',true);

You will find lots of other properties too. See https://api.jquery.com/prop/[^] for more info.

jQuery also provides a :disabled selector which you can use to test:

JavaScript

if ($("#follow").is(":disabled")){
    // do stuff
}

.is() | jQuery API Documentation[^]
:disabled Selector | jQuery API Documentation[^]

But you don't necessarily need jQuery - you can do this quite simply in plain Javascript:

JavaScript

if (document.getElementById("follow").disabled){
    // do stuff
}
