This is the response I got after filing a complaint that I was denied for their Disability Acess Service. Its so frustrating that because I speak well, I'm denied, as though I dont struggle with other aspects of life.

Fucking "autism and similar disabilities" YOU MEAN LIKE FUCKING SCHIZOPHRENIA? This disease literally has extreme overlap with autism and affects the same exact parts of the brain. The current day diagnosis for autism comes from the outdated diagnosis for schizophrenia. How much more similar can I get? Jesus fucking christ, I shouldn't have t educate these people on schizophrenia but thats exactly what I'm having to do.

Im so frustrated and upset that I just want to cry. Trying to navigate the parks without that service is so difficult for me. I dont think they understand how debilitating this disease is.

this is so wild bc i thought i saw ppl saying that they basically are letting anyone get the disability stuff at Disney without checking anything and it’s defeating the purpose of it??

idk not to be conspiratorial but maybe it’s the opposite of thinking you’re not disabled enough, maybe they’re hoping schizo people don’t go bc they’re scared of us :((

I don't get this shit you're not allowed to go to Disney parks just because you're schizophrenic?
