Low Support Needs
In your book, you talk about how we use language to describe people with autism. You say that the terms "high functioning" and "low functioning" are harmful. Why do you think this is? Because it sets expectations for those who aren't high-functioning enough or don't need as much help from society. So i'm affad of using the term 'high support needs,' which describes what they need rather than their function in society.
