I emphasize the need to focus on support needs rather than labeling individuals as high or low functioning, as this can overlook the challenges many face behind the scenes. I share my personal experience of being labeled as high-functioning while struggling with deep depression and burnout. It's crucial to recognize that both low and high support needs individuals can lead fulfilling lives with the right supports in place. I encourage viewers to reconsider their language and perspectives on autism to foster a more inclusive understanding."}
