I get the “you must be high functioning” often when people ask what I do for a living. I’m really not. I can’t survive in the real world. No amount of accommodations can fix that. I struggle so much socially that I’ve been bullied at almost every job I’ve had. I’ve crafted myself a perfect autistic self-employed bubble where I flourish, because in the real world I don’t.

Aren't we all "high functioning" when we have a place where we can function properly? Whatever that looks like for each of us?
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Agreed. When we can accommodate ourselves we can function better.
