Actually, it's the opposite. It's illegal for Disney to request written proof of the condition - see geoffa's post above.

Sure, that does potentially make it open to abuse. But I tend not to concern myself with the small number of people that might abuse this system and instead think of the much larger number of legitimate people that it helps.

And I'd guess there are some people who don't have a doctor's note (or similar) but still have a legitimate need for the DAS.

I was thinking the same thing. It might just have been easier to say the son had Aspergers (which people have heard about) rather than trying to explain the rarer, more specific condition he has (which people probably haven't heard about).
