should speaking ebonics be considered a disability?

I feel for people who can't communicate what they mean, so they instead use words that don't mean what they believe it means, leading to miscommunication. Because of this, I try to approach all initial communication with someone I don't know well as if they are an expert and I require more comprehension. I know people born and raised in the same LA areas as me, yet they sound like they are from Louisiana.

Sometimes, even with people I know well I will listen to them as if they are a stranger, just because its too easy to make assumptions when you think you know someone, but you never know when someone is ready to show you a new perspective.
 
I hate the Atlanta and Valley Girl dialects

I love the New Orleans and L.A. dialects
 
Imagine getting asked this during a job interview.
 
Would you consider someone that communicates their points thru metaphors as having a disability?

Cause it’s the same type of fractured communication
