"High-functioning" / "low-functioning"

Outdated labels Soira does not use. They paper over which specific things a person finds easy or hard, often underestimate support needs of seemingly "high-functioning" people, and dismiss the strengths of "low-functioning" ones. Better to describe specifics — communication style, sensory needs, daily-living support.
