This is probably the best explanation of why high and low functioning labels are why they need to go I've ever read. And I think it's the most accessible for non-autistic people as well.
As I read this, I couldn't help but think about James C. Scott's book, "Seeing Like a State," where he talks about this drive towards legibility, towards labeling and categorizing and making static and making metricable, if that's a word. I think that's exactly why these labels are used.
So on point!! Thank you for sharing!
