A high-functioning-liberal, in a candid perspective, refers to an individual who identifies with some of the completely stupid liberal political beliefs and values but does not necessarily conform to stereotypes that some people associate with liberalism, such as having unconventional hair colors, being as fat as Lizzo, or taking 3-5 business days when they state their preferred pronouns.
Emily is considered a high-functioning-liberal. Despite being a staunch advocate for progressive policies and social justice causes, she preferred her natural hair color, maintained a healthy lifestyle, and didn't share her fucking pronouns.

High Functioning Fucktard, also HFF. Someone who is capable of completing simple tasks, yet is a hindrance to everyone around them in the capacity that they are a fucking moron. Also someone who is often seen wandering aimlessly while attempting to multitask with absolutely no understanding of what they are doing, generally accompanied by head scratching and odd poses with expressions of disbelief or confusion.

A neurotypical with just enough autistic traits to be tolerable.
These positive traits include:
Not needing to make small talk
Not playing head games
Not playing office politics
Prefering function over prettiness
Not complaining that you hurt their feelings every five seconds
Willingness to discuss things over e-mail rather than phone (bonus points if they prefer this)
In time it is hoped that these neurotypicals might learn to pass for aspie.
