    Likes other says it’s a spectrum.

    Think about how a leg issue can be different;

    • some people might walk perfectly normal but it starts to hurt after 5 min and they can’t lift too much.
    • some might have a limp.
    • some might need a cane.
    • some might need a wheelchair but can still walk a few feet.
    • some might wheelchair and not be able to walk.
    • some might not a leg
    • some might not have either legs

    No matter what it is, it’s still a disability, just are some are more of a struggle than others.

    Autism has a spectrum too, the problem is somewhere in the brain so we can’t see it like we can see a cane or missing leg. Things like asthma or color blindness are disabilities too, but we can’t see those either.

      I think what they’re trying to point out that ppl with autism get really good and other, non normal, things. So it’s a negative in some ways but positive in others

      like it’s still a disability, but like there’s nuance in it
