When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

alittle hard on this post to decide in poll, yes and no, i walk just fine, but other then having as its my eyes, my ees dont align strait ahaid to see 1 and in 3d, i see in 1 d (like a picture or a video camera) and see double of things when tired or if its small stuff. so i dont misclick on something i read and use computer with one eye shut so i done see 2 typing cursers and get confused and start clicking and making sentances not make sense and misspell things (hate grammer cops) if i tried to do puter with 2 eyes and even with glasses i would get a headache or misspell or not put it in sentances right (and it look like i had a 4 year old typing for me grammer wise)

handwriting, would that be considered a physical disability, because its seen when a person writes and most times it can mean that theres hypotonia or coordination problem thisis corrected though by using computer or writing with assistive device fashoned from a door closer (that thing in avator, all i did was just put pencil in end of its arm)

i also have low tolerance to alcohol (beers, wines, any liquor) it dont work same way it does with many and make them "feel good" to me its more like bad taste and i feel like i have moderate to severe case of cerebal palsey (and i dont feel good shortly after the drink (within minutes)(that includes speech, the gross and fine motor sloppy and coordination and also cant walk without falling over, so yea one little sip thats what happens.

Not sure whether this would come under disability or not,but am have a lot of problems with left knee/leg,it is very stiff and causes jerky movements,the knee cap is also unstable.
The problem has always been there,and it can be very bad at times-when it's so stiff and unresponsive am have to walk up the stairs one step at a time with the other leg doing all the work,and always have to force the left leg to move which feels very unnatural compared to the right leg-that moves freely and has no problems at all.
Am have been wondering for a while whether this could be mild CP or something else,need to get something done about it but have avoided it up to now because of the hospital appointments that will be needed.
[Edit]

I have pretty bad scoliosis. Two of my vertebrate are fused together, near the base of my spine. Because of this my hips are very crooked. My back muscles are strong enough to keep me pretty upright most of the time, but if I relax my muscles, my back is so crooked I feel like I'm going to fall over to my left side. My spine also curves inward. One of my legs is actually shorter than the other, and I walk with an increasingly pronounced limp, compensating for my crooked hips. It's actually getting worse as I get older, and walking up stairs and uphill is becoming more difficult.

I also have a ventricular-septal defect (a hole in my heart). It affects my endurance pretty significantly; I can't even think about jogging without getting winded.

I have mild scoliosis and myopia ....nothing serious.

I have Multiple Sclerosis, and walk with a walker or, on my good days, a cane. This has screwed up my right side so I can't do my usual work (typing) or walk without veering right and sometimes falling over (hence the walker, which, on my bad days, I can use to catch myself when I start falling, rather than a cane). I also have Type 1 diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency (from the diabetes) and congestive heart disease (from the high blood pressure caused by the diabetes). I also have osteo arthritis in my knee on the side that the MS isn't affecting (now). I'm trying to get on disability, may hear in 4-6 months if I'm accepted or not. But, yeah, I consider myself disabled, whether the government agrees or not.

I have bronchiectasis. It's not too disabling at the moment though as I'm unemployed so can spend all of my time trying to stay well.

Does auditory processing disorder count as a physical disability? It's a neurological hearing problem.
