My guess is that the question of whether or not one is affected would depend on the legal definition of disability, if it really came down to it. "The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a covered disability as 'a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.' The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was charged with interpreting the 1990 law with regard to discrimination in employment. Its regulations narrowed 'substantially limits' to 'significantly or severely restricts.'" (Thank you, Wikipedia!) (Oh, and Happy Birthday, ADA!)
