Well, it's a disorder, it's right in the name.
If people "liked" it, they wouldn't be taking meds to help them function.
I'm not hating, just think we should take things for what they are
Edit: sorry, thought we were talking about ADHD
There are no meds for "autism", there are meds for health issues that autistic people are more likely to have, which autistic people shouldn't take if they don't have those health issues.
As for it being categorized as a disorder.
Homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) beginning with the first edition, published in 1952 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
Would you have said "I'm not hating on homosexuals, just think we should take things for what they are" in 1952?
I replied to this person with some links, maybe you should give them a look too..
It's bigoted is what it is. Bigoted against neurodivergent people. Who, as you say, are not disabled.

Like i dont wanna say ableist cause i dont view autism as a disability. obviously it can be but literally anything severe enough can be a disability, but i digress. This ad is just super fuckin agressive to people on the spectrum for no reason. I knew peta was bad but goddamn
