High functioning autism and Adapative functioning
I think that's true, but you have a little more wiggle room for what most other people would perceive as boasting. That's the impression I get anyway.
I can believe that. But, if a person has a known communication issue, it would stand that they wouldn't blame others for not understanding or denigrate them.

I do not blame and have never blamed or denigrated you or anybody for not understanding . Please, where do you get this from again?
With regards to my childhood's "communication issues", I am even infinitely grateful for the many people who trusted me because they saw behind the 7-year-old girl, not able to communicate, a little girl with potential. Those are exceptional people who helped me overcome my difficulties (even when unaware of this diagnosis), with their every day self-investment.
I thank those people, they gave me trust and i think trust is the main thing an autist needs to go further.
And for those who did not understand, or would not understand me now, i have never "blamed" or "denigrated" them and will never do. Misunderstanding is typical human. There is nothing to be angry about.

Well, here:
You say a high IQ is disabling. And nothing has ever been put forth by you that clarifies that.
I tell you from long experience.
You can understand it only if you have high IQ.
Having high IQ feels like if you were living in the middle of monkeys who laugh at you when you speak, because you do not say "hoo hoo hoo hoo". Then you have to translate your language into "hoo hoo s" ...exhausting.
Also, you learn to not care about insults like those above. You learn to have mercy for others' misunderstanding.
This is not true i said : "you misunderstood or distorted what i say." (what again is happening here)
So, yeah, I think you have communication issues and should recognize it. I have to do the same. But you need to stop blaming everybody who doesn't get your ideas. Accept some responsibility that you are the person who is trying to get an idea across. Blaming others will not help.
So, with people who have incoming communication issues, your thought process is, as you say, "Having high IQ feels like if you were living in the middle of monkeys who laugh at you when you speak, because you do not say "hoo hoo hoo hoo".
And, you specifically state, "Then you have to translate your language into "hoo hoo s" ...exhausting.."
So yeah, I can honestly say you come across as arrogant. I can honestly say that if your attitude is that having to "translate your language into "hoo hoo s"" is for the general masses, no wonder you have difficulty.
I have the same difficulties. But, I don't blame others for it.

Well, here:
Sorry, this is not blaming or denigrating:
"i think" = this is my thoughts
"is disabling" = causing adaptation problem
Blaming , definitions:
- An act of attributing fault; censure; reproof.
- Responsibility for anything deserving of censure
Denigrating, definitons:
- To speak damagingly of; criticize in a derogatory manner; sully; defame:
- To treat or represent as lacking in value or importance; belittle; disparage:
I am convinced that I am intellectually handicapped but both my psychiatrist and case manager disagree.
Same, i preformed very poorly on specific areas of my I.Q, Verbal, Working Memory, and Information Processing speed was all either below average or in low average but my Visual And Spatial is top notch.
I also have problems preforming tasks with multiple steps in sequence.
I cant count how many times i mess up making Kraft Dinner.

i used to be like this as well. Only getting ready to go to school was extremely difficult.
My parents have helped me a lot by writing lists. Now i have lists for everything!
1 get up
2 take off your pyjama
3 go to the bathroom
4 (...)
It may look stupid, but it is not, it is helpful, efficient and you are much more relaxed and confident. You are no more worried about "will i make it on time?".
Just sit and write a chronological list.
What is still difficult for me is that i can not plan long-term objectives. Because there is so much unknown that it seems to me impossible to plan.

I know I'm late to the scene, but I was just recently diagnosed and joined. I was DX'd with HFA.
I also have a high I.Q., but can't seem to hold a job. Ironically, I made it through the Army fine with little problem. I believe due to the structure. Same uniform, time, places. Each day was very repetitive and structured, I knew what was going on and when. I got injured and had to get out, and since then my life has just gone down hill. I am 30, and can't hold a job. I just hate leaving the house, honestly.
But, at least now I have a starting place with this diagnoses.
As for the adaptive skills, I really suck at that. And the ability to adapt to changing circumstances are getting worse. Here is a litany of things I heard growing up:
"You ain't got a lick of sense."
"If you're head weren't screwed on, you'd lose it."
"What makes you think that's ok?" (What ever that may have been at any given time up to this very day)
"You got book learnin' but no common sense."
"Do you ever stop and think?"
"Stop being silly!"
I'm sure there were many more.
I had a personal favorite as my Grandfather always said, "Boy, you are slower than fog off s**t on a frosty morning!"
Granddaddy had a real way with words.
