I've seen her mention she's disabled before , did she ever say how ?
Iām pretty sure sheās referring to her claims to have autism and ADHD. See here:

I donāt believe her though, Iām legitimately diagnosed, and her description of diagnosis in the above link is nonsense.
I canāt copy and paste the quote because Iām on my phone, but it included things along the lines of:
ā¢ āThe doctor said I have 99% of the symptoms of classic autismā - no he didnāt Jack, āclassic autismā is an old-fashioned term for the learning disabled, non-verbal type. Also, they donāt give you a percentage score in autism assessments; after the assessment, the psychiatrist will write a pages long report, then the conclusion will just be that they have diagnosed you.
ā¢ āIt (her autism) has features of ADHD tooā - not how it happens. ADHD is a separate condition, and will usually be assessed separately. Edited to add: what she describes is absolutely not a diagnosis of ADHD.
Another thing is that assessments for both conditions take hours involving interviews and questionnaires, and require an interview with a parent or childhood career.
Assuming thereās is any truth to her claims, it sounds like she is talking about going to her GP to discuss her concerns, and the GP as a non-expert, has agreed that she has enough symptoms to refer her for a proper assessment. This is nowhere near the same thing as an actual diagnosis. Also, the waiting list after referral can be a whole year or more, Iām sure as a perpetual victim we would have heard about this if it was true.
Finally, not being able to drive is not a major symptom of autism. Sure many of us canāt drive, including me, but lots of people struggle to drive. As a stand-alone symptom, what she describes sounds more like anxiety.
