Isn't autism a disability?

So if I say I am unable to work because of a disability, and they ask which disability, and I say autism.

Then many people say autism is not a disability and that is just an excuse for laziness.

But I say because of my autism I may never be able to live independently.

They say nonsense, excuses.

Who's right? They often think that all autistic people are highly intelligent.

But why don't they believe that autism is a massive disability?

Autism can be a disability, but does not have to. This can only be decided by the respective autist/the respective autist for himself. No one else. Only I know and can feel how my autism impedes me in what aspects and that’s exactly how it is with you and with other autists.

That’s quite simple. There is no clear “yes” or “no” response.

Then many autism is not a hindrance, and this is a blossom excuse for laziness.

That’s what they say. It is very much like to assert that neurodiverse/disabled people (especially in the case of invisible disabilities such as autism) would only use their autism as an excuse and that is a very distracting submission. They’re just people who can’t see reality. The reality that not every autist/not every disabled person can hold as an inspiration P*rn. Some don’t like that. Some people are sensitive to it. For stripping wants every disabled person to be able to overcome his disability, or at least tries to do so completely.

They often mean all the autists are highly intelligent.

I am sure there are also autists who are highly intelligent and still cannot pursue any work. Being high-intelligent does not always bring you much in this case.

Yeah, that’s understandable. I don’t like it either. Sure, I don’t want to be insulted as “dumm”, but how dimensioned people who say I/du would/would be intelligent my/deine intelligence? You see how I articulate (at least online) – More not. But surely they would think I would be stubborn if they would see my testimonials from then, or if they knew that I had strong problems shopping without calculators (to compute the purchase), or, or, or.

Both sides flatten extremely strongly. You are not automatically intelligent with austism, nor are you automatically incapable of working. Therefore, neither one is automatically lazy nor is one automatically incapable of living independently.

All of this is KANN, but it doesn’t have to. It does not mean that autism is a spectrum for nothing.

Do you have any statistics? Because it doesn’t cover with my experience at all.

This comment shows where the problem is. From the autists you only take a certain group and then give it as the entire group or the majority.

Hello,

I know autists who are completely out of their minds to live a normal life, and others who get well and, at worst, go to their fellow human beings gradually.

This is a wide field of severely disabled to not obstructed at all.

Best regards,

Willy

But not all.

Because they have no idea. The maximum knowledge of autism is limited to feature films such as Rainman etc. You have to try to explain it every time. Then there are people who listen to you and others do not. That’s all you can do.

The media are often exclusively about selling, information is only communicated if necessary. Autism is unimportant for 99% of people and therefore it is hardly interested.

Naja Autism is a SPEKTRUM. So there’s the island gifted inside that can’t wear the shoes alone. Except for the simply socially unhappy one who can do his work completely normal.

Most have a false picture of autism through television. They think they’re great in math, but they’re a little weird.

Autism is not regarded as a disability, but only as a mental disorder. You need to first diagnose that you additionally have a mental disability.

No, she’s not automatic. The diagnosis of autism is not like a diagnosis allergy to lactose. You never know how pronounced this is and whether there are real restrictions or not. Many don’t even realize they’re autists.

Neurological development disorder (You see this on the left, in the listing. Under “Mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders”, then further under “Neurodevelopmental disorders” and then under “Autism spectrum disorder”.)

No mental disorder.

You’re welcome.

You seem to write. Maybe try something in the direction.

“99 percent of Autists are not Savants” I have never claimed.

“and not particularly intelligent” By far not every job requires high intelligence. Even people without medical history can suffer from reduced intelligence

“We must stop believing that autism would be a superpower.” I didn’t say. You may have to stop seeing Autism as a final and final judgment, alla life over.

if you really have autism, do you have a breath or a disabled card?

or suck it out of your finger.

I also think you’re lazy and you’re looking for an excuse…who’s incapable of work has a certificate for this….

No, you don’t have a certificate if you don’t have a disabled card, no invalid pension….
