As an actual autistic here. i'm somewhere in the middle of whatever the fucking spectrum is. so here's my two cents.Austistics are the most manipulated people on the planet. that's why they troon out.l
Mental illness...
instructions unclear placed an ad on a highway billboardHave you tried reading your yabbit manual to fix Pippa?
Ya know, I had a strong feeling you were autistic based on your posts and replies to me. Thanks for confirming that for me!As an actual autistic here. i'm somewhere in the middle of whatever the fucking spectrum is. so here's my two cents.
If your "High Functioning" you tend toward seeing social interactions as a game that can be won or at least with a clear goal and "prize" that prize ususually being friedship or continued social interaction or similar. these are the manipulators mostly because we do not grasp anything beyond the spelled out social obligations.
big bang theory is a shit show but sheldon is actually scary in how accurate the portrayal can be.
"Low Functioning" often sperg out about their own thoughts being the only way to do things and not understanding why no one else sees how perfect this plan/thought is often overlooking details or just not fully grasping the situation most of these people learn to shut up and just go with the group because they get told repeatedly how stupid they are being.
Yes Nolan falls into this category
TLDR:
High = Social interactions have a clear goal they often become manipulators because it's the easiest way to grasp dealing with others
Low = No filter will talk about nearly everything have difficulty telling right from wrong and will plant their feet when told otherwise "no it's the children who are wrong" the people who grow out of this phase are easily manipulated because they just assume they are wrong by default

For any not watching Pippa has been active in Kirsche's chat since she was actually on stream. Nothing much just bantering with Kirsche for the most part though some fun as always shows up.

Apologies for the spergery.
Yeah I should have made that clearer. Still my bad for being misleading especially on something I should be more informed about. edit Feel i should also mention this is from my observation not from any professional opinion.I feel like he's talking more about archetypes rather than where they fall on the spectrum of 'little autism or lots of autism' in the strict diagnostic sense.
This ^ also as for where I am on the spectrum i'm just saying what I was told never really questioned it.Hate to be that guy, but as someone who works with people who have severe autism, your ideas of both sides are whack.
High functioning autists very often do not have any clear goals, it's true that many can see social interactions as games, but that's often how they steady themselves. Seeing a social interaction as a means to an end is not any unique thing for high functioning autists, it's something that people everywhere do, including low functional autists.
Low functioning autists, or severe autists will often not sperg out about things they like or about their own thoughts, that's more of a high functioning thing. Reason being, most with severe autism are unable to communicate properly, a large percentage cannot speak or make their intentions properly known to others through other means.
You don't grow out of severe autism and become highly functional, at best you find some sort of way to communicate basic things "I am hungry, I need toilet, I want to watch movie", this is often done through pictures and association training. And even more importantly, you need to have people who care enough to go through that training with you.
I have spent the last 8 years training a severely autistic person, and it was a humongous feat when just last week, he decides to, without any prompt, to put his socks in the washing machine.
That's the level we're often dealing with when speaking of low functional autists.
Most people who classify themselves as "high functional" are what would have been considered having Aspergers in the past, or as many in the vocation call it "autism lite".
Chris-chan is the perfect example of an actual high functioning autists, if anyone is doing better than him, then they should ask the doctor who assigned them that they have autism to quit his/her job and tell them to neck themselves.
You are most certainly not middle of the spectrum, the fact that you are able to consider that puts you much higher.
Apologies for the spergery.
