In this video I discuss the flawed logic in treating functionality in autistic people as operating on a binary scale rather than as a fluctuating set of variables consisting of an amalgam of many different types of ability. I go over the complexity of human function and the negative repercussions of characterizing autistic people based on outside perceptions of functionality.
