In the sense of being fully aware of our environment then yes, all humans are disabled in that regard.
Furthermore, disability is not a binary categorisation where you're either disabled or you're not, it's a scale, but crucially it's a scale based on your abilities to engage in the world around you and inside of you. We only use typical human behavior as a measuring point so that we can categorise people in a binary fashion. In other words, you can look at disability through the lens of human society in order to class a person as disabled, but disability can be thought of in much more general terms, which is where the WHO definition comes in.
