They say I'm "high-functioning autistic" but some days I feel like I'm "medium-functioning" at best, if that's even a term. I mean, I can talk, consistently, I guess that's what they mean, but experience has made it very clear that I am a few cards short of a whole deck in terms of social instincts and overstim problems and executive dysfunction and a whole host of other things.
weh.
I get by, I guess.
My usual rant about being "high functioning" is that it is a term applied by medical people to say that they recognize that you are having very noticable trouble but they are okay with just letting you suffer because you produce enough proverbial value for the system.
