A term used in the case of mental disorders. Someone with a disorder who can conceal his symptoms or participate in society is considered to be high functioning.
A developmental disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the person behaves in a distant manner and haves difficulties socializing. Some high functioning people with the condition are actually quite bright. The person with the condition is NOT retarded. In fact, as I said, some are quite bright.
A psychopath who has a stable lifestyle and usually possess high status and influence in society. They can be anyone- CEOs, millionaires, politicians , doctors. But inspit of their high functioning they are still people without a shred of empathy or a conscience
He is high functioning enough to complete a sentence, but he's still not walking straight and chewing bubblegum at the same time yet, he's gonna be 40 years old soon, oh well.

High Functioning Retard
a person who is mentally retarded, but can be propped up through staged appearances in limited contexts and posed in a variety of situations. High functioning attributes include an ability to overreact to real or imagined threats, denial through distraction and frequent changes of subject. May serve as cover to con-schemes when place in position of authority. Has no self awareness and therefore no ability to feel shame or guilt. Overconfidence is mistaken for strength in people with this disability. Religion is often cited in order to maintain cohesiveness and order. HFR's in positions of power attract highly loyal Sheeple followers. HFR's tend to live the paradox of the self guided puppet, yet require input from non HFR's for their material.

A neurotypical with just enough autistic traits to be tolerable.
These positive traits include:
Not needing to make small talk
Not playing head games Not playing office politics Prefering function over prettiness
Not complaining that you hurt their feelings every five seconds
Willingness to discuss things over e-mail rather than phone (bonus points if they prefer this)
In time it is hoped that these neurotypicals might learn to pass for aspie.
This website was designed by a really high-functioning neurotypical, you can tell because it actually works.

High Functioning Fucktard, also HFF. Someone who is capable of completing simple tasks, yet is a hindrance to everyone around them in the capacity that they are a fucking moron.
