YES! - Jillian Enright

…ories of people telling others of my diagnosis feels similar. I know of at least one occasion where someone felt the need to add “high functioning” because they were concerned about how the listener — we had never met — would then perceive me. Almost like “she’s autistic, but oh, she’s not that kind of autistic, don’t worry”.
Don’t call me high-functioning
