verbal ≠ low support needs (kinda vent)

i am moderate supoort needs autistic. significant impairments in executive functioning, self care, decision making, and demand tolerance. massive struggles in forming and keeping relationships due to not understanding expectations & others' emotions.

however, most professionals have decided my support needs are low, because i am extremely verbal & articulate. i learned to read very young (3 years old) and learned a LOT about conversations from dialogue in books. it gave me a large vocabulary & i studied the structure of conversations like they were a science.

i'd describe my verbal style as a patchwork of things i've either read or heard from others. even "original" thoughts are drawn from stock phrases & copying.

i can describe the things i struggle with very clearly to my psychiatrist and his mental health team, but i think he mistakes my verbiosity for capability.

i'm a 24 year old woman and ive never held down a proper job or managed to maintain a good social life. it makes me sad.

anyone else in the same situation?
