How many "real" high functioning autists vs. 1%ers with some attitude are there?

This assumes it's a binary: one is either a "real" autist or not.

But that's not how it works. It's a spectrum.

"high functioning autism" (these days) is closer to an astrological sign or a meyers-briggs diagnosis.

At it's best it gives you some idea about what things are easier than others.

It's useful as a keyword to search and group some behaviour habits.

It also almost completely hides the diganosed autism people who literally cannot survive without a care taker.

High functioning autists must have other traits which blend-in into their level of autism. Take a look at Steve Jobs... clearly autistic but had a drive and charisma in order for his level of autism to be (for lack of a better word) supercharged.

I was tested last year and diagnosed with minor autism and a top 1% IQ. In my career it did cause a kind of friction, but not "attitude". The friction came about when I instinctively fought for the ability to work in the manner that I needed in order to function at a high level. But I was always easy to get along with otherwise.

Maybe the distinction is that autists will cause friction defensively whereas if someone is being a jerk, that's its own thing.
