    I do not think that human beings should be described as 'low functioning' in any context. Its wrong and demeaning.

    I don't think it's meant to be a demeaning term. It's used to describe the degree to which a person is affected by autism, so it's probably best to look at it as a diagnostic tool.

    You have to have a way of profiling individuals to enable carers to decide the best way to help them.
