autisticlynx:

functioning labels suck

I can talk. I can cook. I can read and write.

I often cannot comprehend things. I am often confused about nothing at all. I am frequently tired and not sure what in doing and not quite in control of my movements.

I can speak with people but I communicate weirdly. I cannot drive. I have very little focus unless I hit a point where I’m hyper focused. I do not think I could handle a job due to the anxiety and people and schedule.

loud noises terrify me. I am too often dissociated.

I might be labeled high functioning, but it doesn’t feel like I function typically enough to count as that. but I wouldn’t be labeled low functioning because I can “do stuff”.

high functioning does not fit me. low functioning does not fit me.

I don’t like functioning labels at all.
