While I can speak and write, I absolutely cannot function under neurotypical hard-working conditions. But that absolutely does NOT mean that I am a "profound autistic"; autism is a multi-dimensional, neurodevelopmental condition that is developed long before a child is ever born, aka a spectrum.

I hate the term profound autism God damn it, it sucks ! There should be more money invested into helping autistic adults (God knows autistic children need help, but the help is never distributed equally, and I say this as a black autistic woman). We need resources and to be listened to

This autistic adult who can read and write has never received even one thin dime from anyone because of his autism.

Plus, people usually tend to use the term “profound autism” as an excuse to bash and talk over low support needs/late diagnosed autistic people.
