high functioning autism

A developmental disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the person behaves in a distant manner and haves difficulties socializing. Some high functioning people with the condition are actually quite bright. The person with the condition is NOT retarded. In fact, as I said, some are quite bright.

High functioning autism is a developmental disorder.

Autism

Autism is a neurotype. A neurotype is a type of brain, and the main change that it does is how the brain interprets and responds to social cues. The easiest way of describing an autistic person is just that their brain works slightly different. That’s all.

Also being ableist is stupid so please just try to think about what you say before you say it.

Autism is a spectrum. Not a functioning line. Not every autistic person is the same.

There are also a lot of common co-morbidities so lots of autistic people with have some other mental illness or disorder, like ADHD, anxiety or depression.

Written by an actual autistic person :)

some ableist bitch: “ew why are you autistic?”
an autistic person: “yeah like i can control what my neurotype is, it’s just autism, piss off.”

Social Autism

Relating to the social retard or social retardation. A person who causes undue awkwardness and misses normal social cues during conversation, while technically being considered "normal".

Unlike a social retard, this person is usually of a high IQ, and manages to sporadically control the conversation with an interesting, savant-like twist for specific subjects and topics.

Common in academia, conspiracy theorists, and certain fanatics.

Jason was not a social retard, he had social autism. People avoided speaking around him unless they wanted to discuss the life history of Bob Marley. In the alternative, he was great to have on your team for music trivia night.
