I’d known I had Asperger’s practically all my life, but it wasn’t until much later that I’d heard it be called “a disability” and I took a lot of offence to it. It looks like this was actually the first meme I ever made.
Autism affects everyone differently, so not everyone with it feels they’re disabled, but it definitely makes aspects of life harder for some people; therefore, by definition, it can be a disability.
May not feel like a disability to you, but it certainly does to me.
If you don’t think autism is a disability I question your diagnosis accuracy. Regardless of how you feel about that, kindly do not tell people it’s not a disability. I have work accommodations, living accommodations, insurance conditions, and a service dog, none of which I’d have without my diagnosed disability
Idk, I consider ym ADHD a disability because it demonstrably affects my ability to function.
Exactly… if it is not a “disorder” in your daily functioning it doesn’t meet diagnostic criteria
