As it should be. A nd that diability should be reevaluated periodically to see if talk therapy has managed to make it no longer a disability, a treatment may reverse it if your borderline enough

@freemo @macberg
Considerably inhuman to not give a person the accommodations they need but wait until they suffer and than think everything could be repaired with talk therapy instead of changing the surroundings.
Did you ever hear of preventive healthcare?

Of course it's a disability even if you don't have acute problems. You permanently have to manage the accommodations in order to not get them again and that is also exhausting.

Who said anything about not giving people the accommodations they need? People should have reasonable accommodations regardless of any medical illness or not. Your failure is in assuming accommodations should be contingent on illness at all.

You said it because you want to take away the status of "disability" regularly.
The main goal of that status is to have the legal right to get accommodations.

Yeah, in another society maybe in the far future everyone will get the accommodations they need regardless their status. But not here, not today.

So if you want to change the way we think about ASD/ADHD please change society first. Too big for you? Then don't harm people when they try to live in that system at least.

No I didnt a d please dont tell me why i say things.

I said what i said so people will stop seei g disabilities in that way at all, or needing it as a means to qualify for accomodations. Accomodations should be given to everyone who needs them, you shoukd t need to prove a disability to get it.
