I find the word "high functioning" extremely problematic, and I'm glad to see it being de-constructed in this manner. <br />When "high functioning" was used to apply to me, it was often in reference to the fact that I had a "fertile imagination" and read fiction for pleasure. Which I found confusing, because fertile imaginations and creativity are not limited to literature and poetry. It takes a lot of imagination to be in math and science, but I do not excel in those fields.Leah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798094383285526940noreply@blogger.com
