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?

  • Thank you both. It definitely helps. My son has behavioural issues and I seem to be able to cope with them really well when we are on our own, but other people including my husband seem to have real problem understanding that he doesn't see things the same way eveyone else does. Have either of you found a good way to explain to other people?

     

    I'm sure most people I know just think oh she is a rubbish parent and the autism is a good label to hide behind.  

     

    I will look at the blog. I am happy to take any advice given
