What do think of when you hear the words High Functioning Autistic?

well i first thought of a guitar since when i first read it i thought it said high functioning acoustic, but then i thought of the book ' the memory keepers daughter' when i saw high functioning autistic

About the fact that I am a High Functioning Autistic person.

Sorry i don't agree with anything don'tworrybehappy says at all but this is my opinion ... Yes it does sound like classic autism too me Thomas was diagnosed as low functioning autism at aged 3 nearly 4 and he is 12 now although he can say odd words his speech is very limited he is also still in nappies, he also loves music and computer games Thomas can also spell better than he can speak, he stimms a lot and plugs his ears a lot as well so too me yes it does sound like classic autism
