And as I’m sure Frink can attest, “high functioning” is problematic label. It basically means you can often navigate the world and even pass for neurotypical. It also means when you tell people you’re autistic and need some sort of accommodation, you get the side-eye like you’re either making it up or being too demanding. Like when Rex Tillerson wants everyone in the State Department to know he doesn’t like to make eye contact, and the liberal blogs go off on him and I think to myself, “Yeah, like that.”
