Autism is a disability for the same reason that life threatening peanut allergy is a disability where you carry an epinephrine pen everywhere you go, and where everyone, including strangers at every restairant are made aware, so that you do not die from their ignorance, and where police and parsmedics are alerted of your peanut allergy.
To further extend this comparison and to further illistrate my point, as if I were a Supreme court judge extending a scenario to explain what is wrong with presumptions not extended or compared with good reasoning, Consider the person who asserts that their child has an allergy on the basis of an aversion to some food
If every child with a food aversion, a dislike of broccoli or peanuts, and the mildest of indigestion got on an identity bandwagon of identifying as someone with an allergy, and [SAID] that they get “EXHAUSTED” after eating certain foods, and [SAID] they were acting normal , digestionwise, to fit in and be accepted in social situations WHERE PEANUTS ARE SERVED, EATING LIFE THREATENING PEANUTS DAILY TO FIT IN SOCIALLY, BUT EXHAUSTED AFTERWARD, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A [MILD] LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGY TO PEANUTS, AND, NOONE SHOULD JUDGE THEM to be COUNTERFIT BECAUSE, HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT AFTER SUCKING IN PEANUTS THAT THEY DO NOT GO HOME , “WITHDRAW”, “unplug”, SLEEP, BECOME UNABLE TO BATH, DRESS, FEED THEIRSELF, and BREATH AFTER EATING LIFE-THREATENING PEANUTS [SOCIALLY TO FIT IN] WHILE ACTING normal, LIKE THEY HAVE NO LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGY?
AND HOW DOES ANYONE KNOW IT IS LIFE-THREATENING TO HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY ANYWAY?
WHO ARE THOSE DOCTORS WHO GATEKEEP AND ARE OUTDATED AND IRRELEVANT, IMPOSING SEVERITY ON US THAT A PEANUT ALLERGY IS A DISABILITY AND LIFE-THREATENING?
WE SHOULD GET RECOGNITION OF PEANUT ALLERGY EVEN IF WE JUST DON’T LIKE PEANUTS. THERE! NYAH!
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF I DON’T EVER HAVE A SWOLLEN THROAT, LIPS OR ANAPHALACTIC SHOCK LIKE THE STEREOTYPICAL BOY WITH STEREOTYPICAL PEANUT ALLERGY?
CAN’T MILD AVERSION TO PEANUTS COUNT AS ALLERGY, AND ENTITLE ME TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IF DOLLARS OF SERVICES AND LOADS OF ATTENTION FOR PEANUT ALLERGY AS IF IT WERE SEVERE, AS IF I COULD DIE?
WHY EXCLUDE ME FROM ALLERGY DIAGNOSIS OR QUESTION MY DIAGNOSIS, IF DON’T HAVE TO HAVE SEVERITY OR ANYTHING LIFE THREATENING?
THAT IS THE crap PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR MILD, NO DISABILITY VERSION OF AUTISM.
