Edited to add: Obviously IMO they should not question me and believe me. Just because someone can climb a short flight of stairs (or a long one) doesn't mean they can walk a mile around the place.
I don't know if different states have different definitions of disability or not--ask your doctor's office or license bureau. Here it has to do with able to walk a certain distance without assistance. This should not be a problem for you, but it wouldn't hurt to be well informed. Those hidden disabilities can make the healthiest appearing person still be disabled.
