Asperger’s

High-functioning autism (HFA) refers to individuals on the autism spectrum with cognitive and language capabilities enabling them to handle everyday tasks similarly to their neurotypical peers. Although they may struggle with social interactions, communication, and repetitive behaviors, they usually don’t have intellectual disabilities associated with other autism forms. People with HFA often possess average or above-average intelligence and can thrive in traditional educational and employment settings. Special talents, especially in fields requiring detail and focus, are common among them, though support is essential for navigating social complexities.
