Has anybody being told that you are Autistic but not disabled.

Maybe for some people 'mild' disability does not count as a disability? I red once, that autism alone is not a reason to consider someone automatically disabled. I feel a bit disabled when having to interact with others. I'm lost, like a child in a fog. But I have no issues with basic daily finctioning- I can cook, clean, I work, I'm married and I have a child. There is a social worker coming to us and she helps me with my daughter. She helps me recognise my daughters feelings and intentions. I get this help despite not having a diagnosis- the teachers in the nursery noticed problems with my daughter's behaviour and I applied and received help from the state. It's very important for me. I fear that one day my daughter will become adult while I will still stay myself.

I'm bot sure if I would be considered disabled or not, it's not that obvious in me and not do visible. I just appear shy or weird.

As explained by the NAS, in the UK, "autistic people meet the legal definition of disability ... and are protected in UK law regardless of whether they identify as disabled or not". My reply to PinkAngel00 above explains more, and includes the full quote.
