Higher Level ASD - What does it mean

I have a 4.5 year old son who has been diagnosed, as possibly, being higher level ASD. A number of interventions have been put in place and we are now waiting for a review to confirm or not diagnosis. 

 

I don't seem to be able to find information on what HL ASD actually means in terms of lifestyle etc. Can anyone enlighten me?

  • Sounds like my son. He is 5, started school in September. Considered by the school to be high functioning and he is really excelling at school but we do still have behavioural issues to deal with but the school have been fantastic with him and haven't disciplined him for the worse behaviour (throwing chairs, hurting people etc), they have taken a different approach to try and help him understand.
