For some people it is life threatening. I have family members that have almost died from it. My niece had to quit work and stay home with her 5 yr old for 10 years because his life was in jeopardy when the teachers and substitute teachers couldn't figure out how to use his machine properly.

It depends on what kind of Asthma you have and how bad it is. How under control it is.
I have "Allergy-Induced Asthma" and for me, it is not a disability.
