i re-found this image and i like it a lot
[ Picture of two stick figures one blue and one red]
person A [red]
- hypersensitive to textures/sensory stimuli
- nonverbal
- avoids eye contact
- "visibly autistic"
- meltdowns via tantrums
- always stimming in public
- has a lot of special interests/hyperfixations
- may be seon as "reckless" or "impulsive", "stupid, "irrational" etc
- does not force themself to mask
person B [blue]
- may only have one special interest or none at all
- makes way too much eye contact
-pretends to understand social cues/may force facial expressions
- may be VERY verbal
- good at masking their autism in front of people
- meitdowns via getting really quiet/ going nonverbal crying etc
- suppresses stims
- hyposensitive to textures/sensory stimuli
[text beneath image] BOTH ARE AUTISTIC.
there is no such thing as "high functioning" or "low functioning", autism is a spectrum and one autistic person might not have the same experience with it as another. forcing these labels on autistic people is harmful and does not lead to anything good. STOP USING THE TERMS "HIGH" AND "LOW" FUNCTIONING FOR CHRISTS SAKE THEY DO NOT HELP AT ALL](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6hl44m2hefzz4hnnhu26ilp5/bafkreicmuvbq646t2vezw4rjqhs2pj4b2oou56lyvmhlwk3k72vuk34fxu@jpeg)
