Yes, autism / Aspergers is a disability. However, it is also just a different brain type. But since autistic people are in the minority, we are a disability because we struggle to fit in with the majority and live in an NT society. However, if everyone was autistic except a few NTs, then being neurotypical would be the disability. Really, disability is a social construct, but that doesn't make it any less real.
If the
majority were autistic, then
autism would be "neurotypical". I understand why you phrased it in familiar terms, but thought it was worth the perspective.
