This site does not encourage the use of functioning levels. We are a neurodiverse group of people who have certain sensitivities, such as over the top hearing, sense of smell, "picky" tastes in foods, skin that recoils at the slightest touch of a clothing tag. We are extremely empathetic people, we cry, we bleed, just like Neurotypical people. We tend to think outside of the box. If you are searching for an answer, and you need help, we will do our very best to help you. I personally refer to myself as Autistic. However. when I am talking to people on the street, I feel it makes them more comfortable if I refer to myself and others as having sensory issues. Just a thought. How about you?
