Is Autism Considered a Disability?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that affects communication, behavior, and social interaction, and is legally and medically recognized as a disability.
Federal laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act affirm autism as a disability. As such, these laws grant individuals with autism the right to education, employment accommodations, and public services.
Individuals with ASD may be able to qualify for disability benefits if their condition significantly limits their ability to function.
