    is there a modern equivalent that describes “i function differently from NTs, but am generally able to live my life without special accomodations”?

    because i’ve been described as high functioning and never really thought much about it, but the nazi connection is…uncomfortable…

      “low support needs” is the preferred term. Still having needs neurotypical people don’t, but not a lot of them. High support needs would be the opposite.
