"You're too high functioning to..." is Ableist Code for "If you're autistic and I can understand what you're saying, I don't want to."
Nonspeaking people who need help with everything from initiating movement to ablutions and changing their incontinence wear have been put into the "too high functioning" category by various critics, for the crime of using words to communicate.
On the other hand, "use your words" is also a common instruction from ABA therapists who deem word-users too high functioning to be allowed opinions.
(Ironically, these same ABA people use words themselves to deliver these contradictory instructions and messages.)
