[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe start by not invalidating their experience by calling it "high functioning." That's just another way of saying that the autism doesn't affect others, but ignores the affect it has on the autistic person. And masking is exhausting. You could begin to build a better relationship if you don't expect them to mask around you. -Autistic adult[/quote] Fine. Hfa = aspergers = ASD I = absentminded professor = quirky = space cadet Those all mean the same thing, some are more codified than others, esp in a work place or when talking about gramps. [/quote]
