>self-identify as disabled
and herein lies the problem. to get any kind of support (money, housing, respect) it's ultimately a doctor that decides whether you are disabled or not
- chownie 4y agoDepends heavily on your jurisdiction. In the UK if one has any condition lasting longer than 12 months which would affect the ability to do day to day tasks this would count as a disability automatically. The "test" here is applied without accommodations, so if one needs a cane to walk that would count too. There's a lot of people in the UK who fall very clearly on the "disabled" side of that equation in the UK who would not self identify as disabled.
