Like I said, I wasn't arguing whether disease or disorder is correct, but rather saying that a genetic cause is absolutely not the defining factor between disease and disorder.

But it seems you refuse to read what I actually wrote and prefer to argue something else entirely.

The most common reason is because they are available. In particular, rich countries suffer from obesity.

All of this is your subjective connotations.

For example, there are many types of disease and not all of them are communicable (eg. kidney disease).

ADHD - diet, sleep and excercise are considered a treatment or at least beneficial for some diseases (eg. Diabetes). So this is also a poor argument.

Disease diagnosis is not about "separating groups of humans with one having the advantage". It is about understanding what kind of support they need.

I don't see where the word "disease" causes any more harm than "disorder".

Assholes are going to asshole, regardless if the medical term used.

But that wasn't the point. The argument was autism is not a disease because it is genetic.

​

This is an incorrect argument, regardless of whether autism is classified as a disease or not, the cause is not relevant.

And disorder doesn't carry similar negative connotations?

There are genetic diseases.

Maybe, and hear me out, people are doing:

Less physical activity

And

Eating more calories

Is the main cause of obesity.

I mean, I lost 30 kgs/60 lbs of pandemic weight by adding a 38 minute daily walk and not eating 3 desserts.

What a BS claim.
