Which of the following is NOT a physical disability?

The correct answer is that autism spectrum disorder is not classified as a physical disability. Physical disabilities typically refer to impairments that affect a person's physical body, such as mobility, sensory functions, or physical abilities. Deafness, amputation, and blindness are concrete examples of physical impairments that directly affect a person's physical capabilities or senses.

In contrast, autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that primarily affects social communication and behavior rather than physical function. Thus, it is categorized under developmental disabilities rather than physical disabilities. Understanding these distinctions is critical for law enforcement and other professionals to effectively support and accommodate individuals with various types of disabilities.
