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.
May not feel like a disability to you, but it certainly does to me.
While I don’t want to kill someone, I get it. It really depends, and the idea of calling something a disability gets into philosophical topics. If people were straight forward and didn’t play social games, we’d be a lot better off.
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.
Always the correct reaction to hearing something you disagree with. Or perhaps I’m just less autistic than the tests say… /s
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
