Thought I'd try digging up this old meme I made 5 years ago. Seems kind of edgy looking back. Hope this is alright for this community.
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.
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
