Depends on how you define disability, and how “severe” case if autism someone has. If someone is incapable of taking care of themselves, that’s definitely a disability by most metrics. Having trouble and needing some support to manage everyday life? Can be counted as disability, in some instances not. Having trouble, but not needing that much support? I’ve seen this both counted and not counted as disability

Understood. The messaging is unclear sometimes, so I appreciate the insight
Its a spectrum. Its not a one size fits all thing. So it will be for some, but not for others.
