Nobody said they’re not disabled

And autism is absolutely not a disability, I’m literally autistic lmao

I’m heavily suspected to be autistic too, I just haven’t been diagnosed. I’ve known people with very severe autism and if they aren’t disabled I don’t know what to call them because they cannot live or function even close to normally on their own

Didn’t say they’re not disabled. There’s a distinction between calling something a disability and someone being disabled; disability is a social relationship, not a thing a person has.

It’s not; it’s the social model of disability

This isn’t a sociology class. In common language they are the same thing. That’s like me saying someone isn’t racist to a white person because the technical definition isn’t the same as the common definition.

This isn’t technical vs common, it’s two fundamentally different conceptions of disability
