Hi to everyone who has posted, my daughter was only confirmed as Autistic at the end of August, and we have never been told of a High or a low, I do not even know what the difference in terms is ability this is meant to describe. They did tell me that there is a box for Aspergers, but they don't tick it any more, everything just goes under Autistic. Basically I think the new way of thinking is, whether you are Autistic (whatever bracket) or have Aspergers, then no matter what differences you may or may not have, you are on the same playingfield so to speak. you all have difficulties which require help in one form or another.
I saw alot mentioned above as 'suffering' I have never seen it that way, but as my daughter only communicates about what she wants and doesn't discuss anything about her issues or abilities, how would I know?
All I can do, is be there if she needs me and hope that as she was diagnosed at 8, she can have a better life ahead than if she had been left behind. Then I could see the 'suffering' aspect.
Really interesting conversation, would someone describe what the High and low is?
