setting an objective limit for ND (neurodivergent, autism, ADHD) vs NT (neurotypical, healthy, average) is not easy.

personally, i set it at "inability to keep a full-time job reliably"

if you're not able to carry the average workload, you're disabled, and others have to help lift you.

if you can carry that load, you can. you're not disabled. struggling a bit. but functioning. you might be slightly ND, but it's not crossing the limit.

I think it is difficult to distinguish between those who actually are struggling with ND, and those who use ND as a reason to not work because they don’t want to work. Same with disability, but ND is even easier to spoof. Fibromyalgia! I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, and some people do suffer, but probably not the number of people who claim it.
