Does having Asperger's mean you're classed as Disabled?

Harry

Hello

New member here -

I was diagnosed with Asperger's a few years ago, aged 22 or 23.

I have  a question for you all.

Whilst trying to get a referral to Speech Therapy via Adult Social Care, I was told that having Asperger's is not considered a disability, but a learning difficulty.

What are your views on this?
