However if you are proposing that disabled people have to declare this to every Internet forum, social media platform they use, and their ISP (and all of these become arbiters of what disabilities are sufficient, and which aren't) then you are having a laugh.
I can see where you're coming from as website owners/moderators are unlikely to have had training into how neuro diversity affects a person's ability to communicate effectively and in an acceptable manner.

How would you deal with neuro diverse people if they behaved innapropriatey (even if they couldn't help it or didn't know that they were causing problems) whilst remaining compliant with the Equality Act?
