The gap between expected adaptive functioning due to IQ and actual level of adaptive functioning can be quite large.

My problem is that in short interactions with people where verbal skills are to the fore I come across as very intelligent. That would get me a label of ‘high functioning’ in many people’s eyes. However in situations requiring more non-verbal/spatial/practical intelligence I do far less well.
The thing is most people don’t see me in the latter situation , and if they do can think I’m being lazy,passive aggressive etc.
That includes many mental health professionals .
