I'd be interested. Curious about high-functional, is that relating to a neurodivergent perspective or related to life / success benchmarks?

We have jobs and housing and relationships, we can read social cues and make light conversation, we bathe regularly, and we've only had someone puke from the second floor on to the building awning once.

high functioning basically means "normal or close enough to normal that you cant really tell they have an issue". its somewhat controversial but this is not the place to explain it

Totally understand - I have HFA as well. I liked the old term for it better but I know that's gone out of style.
