Not a disease, but a disorder. When it gets to the point where its hard to keep a job or even friends because you’re forgetful, distracted, demand avoidance, struggling with hygiene etc. it can get to a point where life becomes needlessly difficult. It’s not that neurotypicals don’t show any of these behaviours, but it’s to a manageble degree.
When it gets to that point, perhaps, but the barest definition of Autism or ADHD are not indicative of that. They’re umbrella and blanket terms for a wide swath of people.
Another thing is that while some would qualify for assistance in finding homes and jobs; many of them are simply a poor fit for the environment they find themselves in, could thrive more easily in a different situation.
The assistance I need: my snail mail address is actually a service that scans the letters and turns them into email. Then I don’t need to go check the mail, I can filter it, and I can easily turn it into reminders.
