HFA

HFA, or High-Functioning Autism, describes individuals on the autism spectrum who have average or above-average intelligence and do not experience significant delays in language development. They often have good verbal skills and cognitive abilities but may face challenges with social interactions, understanding social cues, or managing sensory sensitivities. HFA is not a formal medical diagnosis but is commonly used to describe individuals with autism who are less visibly affected, allowing them to participate more easily in everyday activities and work environments. Understanding and support can help individuals with HFA thrive academically, professionally, and socially.
