Actually is required. It is silly because given the same neurology you can be impaired or not depending on other life conditions. But the criteria are made to decide who "needs support", not who is "neurologically different".
Likewise, homosexuality was (long ago now), removed from the DSM, not recategorized, because they aren't in the business of cataloging neurological differences. Only disorders. If you aren't impaired by it, it's not a disorder.
