Joke

Is this a joke, or are you actually curious? Sorry, im autistic and it’s hard for me to tell.

I’m not a fan of the terms high and low functioning. They’re very labeling, and often people who are labeled as high functioning don’t get the support they need, when in fact they have as many problems as low functioning autistic people.

There’s actually three levels:

Level 1, or high functioning is generally described as: Difficulty engaging in social interactions, hard time switching activities or changes of plans, are generally ‘awkward’ or lonely, etc.

Level 2 is characterized by small to none social life, very hard to cope with change, behavioral milestones hit later in life, etc.

The third level, aka low functioning, usually includes little socialization, communication mainly to ask questions/if at all, obvious disability, changes are very hard, etc.

it was just a joke

it is a very good joke but some what controversial. its funny but i think it would sound offensive to someone who has a low functioning autistic family member. though as i am high functioning i think it is hard to guage what is aproppriate to post. but as you can choose to be anonymouse its fine. yours super sincerely anonymous autistic authority.
