I’m not picky about “official diagnosis” for this question; I know there are a variety of reasons not to have one either intentionally and/or willingly or otherwise.
Do you folks consider your autism a disability? I have seen online a number of people say they don’t think it is, and it may not be so much for them, but someone with higher support needs might think it is. But also I don’t know those posters’ support needs, so I can’t really judge on that basis either. I figured the easiest way to find out would be to directly ask you all. So if you feel comfortable answering, I would appreciate your feedback.
EDIT: Sorry I can’t respond to everyone’s comments; there got to be a whole lot of them! But thank you all for your input!
I do think it’s a disability but I would say the vast majority of ways it disables me would be eliminated if I didn’t have to survive in this capitalist hellscape.
I get frustrated by my processing speed but maybe that wouldn’t be frustrating if my free time wasn’t so limited and I could just float from one task to another like the mischievous spectre I was meant to be.
