1/3 One reason why people with #highfunctional #autism are not or lately #diagnosed is their ability to cope their #neurodiversity by learning. But this may cause funny situations and they appear „weird“ to others especially to neurotypical persons. For example: A highfunctional autistic member of my Family had learned that all old people need a walking aid in public. However he was very sporty

Would like to quote my post from an other website regarding highfunctioning autism

IMO this high/low functioning is a very dangerous thing. People call me a #highfunctional #autistic person, they try to compliment me with this. What's the true purpose of calling me that? They devide us autistic people in two classes, judged by allistic "values".
Am I highfunctional in being an autistic person or being highfunctional in masking and pretending not being me?
