High-functioning-Autismpill

I thought people with High functioning Autism were people who were Autistic but had average processing speed. I was wrong.

High-functioning autism means that a person is able to read, write, speak, and handle daily tasks, such as eating and getting dressed independently.

High-Functioning Autism Symptoms (and Controversy)​

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by a variety of social and non-social behavioral deficits. One potential mechanism that could unify this diverse profile of behaviors is slower processing speed. Seventy-six high-functioning adults with ASD were compared to 64 matched controls on standardized measures of processing speed. Participants with ASD were significantly slower on all measures, and on the composite score from the three tests (d’s > .65). ASD participants with slower processing speeds scored higher on the ADOS Communication and Reciprocal Social Interaction scale (r = .34). These findings provide evidence of slower processing speeds in adults with ASD, and that this may be contributing to impairments in social communication skills. Interventions that improve processing speed might improve social communication abilities in ASD.

The ADOS is a semi-structured, observational assessment that scores a participant's response to social presses for communication, reciprocal social behavior, and repetitive behaviors and stereotyped interest patterns.

Any autism means you cannot do that

This. No matter how mild the autism or aspergers is, by default it means a pussyfree life without copes. Most autists cannot get a job and maintain one. Soyciety still expects that autists can perform like normies which means that autists only rarely get disability status. Autistic men are prone to end up homeless.

Nigga gambling is based on luck, do you really think even the biggest autistic genius is going to figure out a loophole in something that is explicitly designed to not have loopholes and always being favoured to the house winning
