@lapis in the process of typing this i looked it up and it's definitely just a new version of functioning labels wow. worth noting that there aren't any sources here from actual psych professionals and that a$ is the first non-dotcom result. they have three "levels" and level 1 is what "high-functioning" was in functioning labels. i'm not looking further

it looks like they might've actually invented a more ableist version of functioning labels, yikes
