Forgive me for chiming in, I saw this on c/all and like following peoples discussions around neurodivergence and disability even if I’m not on the spectrum specifically – most disabilities have different severities, whether are diseases or not. ADHD, the sleep disorder I have, blind-ness or deaf-ness, etc.

Disabilities can be different levels of disabling. Broadly I agree with the points you’re making in your original comment though. Its easy to for folks to end up feeling like the level of disability they experience is an indication of their level of defectiveness, and folks need to hear theyre not neccisarily defective (I try not to presume to know how all disabled folks may feel, I’m sure there are folks with disabilities who hurt over feeling broken, and I’m not here to invalidate that)
