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.
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.
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
