#HighFunctioningAutism

I took my kids to an indoor arcade / jungle-gym;

It has a short-order cafe.

The person queued before me ordered three pizza slices ($1.95 x 3) and nacho fries ($4.99 x 1.)

A dispute ensued about the total price.

Until I blurted out "$10.84!"

... And I'm the weirdo !?

Image with text which reads: 'I find it laughable that I'm seen as disabled for having autism because I'm socially awkward and struggle with sensory overload, yet I often outperform 'normal' people when it comes to problem-solving and working things out for myself without any instructions. It would seem to me that many neurotypicals are low-functioning and need the disabled label more than I do.'

As a high-functioning autistic person, I've met many low-functioning neurotypicals. Funny how they don't get labels, though. It seems normal is normal, no matter how dysfunctional it is, as long as it applies to the majority. #neurodiversity #labels #highfunctioningautism

You're too close to the poverty line for the previously learned skills you've got a diploma for to matter.
