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

These are two extracts from NAS' web page 'What is Asperger Syndrome?' (http://www.autism.org.uk/about/what-is/asperger.aspx):

Like other autism profiles, Asperger syndrome is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others.

People with Asperger syndrome are of average or above average intelligence. They do not usually have the learning disabilities that many autistic people have, but they may have specific learning difficulties. They have fewer problems with speech but may still have difficulties with understanding and processing language.

According to the Research Autism website (http://www.researchautism.net/autism/types-of-autism/asperger-syndrome):

Asperger syndrome is a form of autism characterised by normal or above average intelligence.

This is from the gov.uk website (https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010):

You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities.

Asperger's is not listed as an exclusion from the definition (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/570382/Equality_Act_2010-disability_definition.pdf). And from the same document:

A man has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. He finds it hard to understand non-verbal communications such as facial expressions, and non-factual communication such as jokes. He takes everything that is said very literally. He is given verbal instructions during office banter with his manager, but his ability to understand the instruction is impaired because he is unable to isolate the instruction from the social conversation.

This has a substantial adverse effect on his ability to carry out normal day-to-day communication.
