Generally speaking , no , think of Steven Hawking , has a disability , but is a credit to society. Same with high functioning alcoholics , if they still function then why make them change? Some problems do effect how functionally useful you are , so you can say they have a disability. Diagnosing mental illnesses is a hard job after all definition of 'normal' are subjective and we all have some attributes of mental illnesses due to how we act sometimes. To address your fist point , no , to get any of the benefits of having a disability you have to be diagnosed , if you don't have any issues then how can they diagnose you with it.

Problem with that system though is the fact in my mind some problems still affect how you function compared to the ''normel'' standard greatly yet,To the piont you'd have trouble getting jobs and keeping them you still can function as a member of society.

ABDL a disability? Depends who you ask , the americans will , there way of classification does , but in britan they use a diffrent catalog. Genarally speaking it's only a disability if it somehow inhibits your ability to function as a member of society.

In my opinion it is not depending on the way that you use it and what type of person you are.
