Higher Level ASD - What does it mean

VickiE4

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?

  • Probably sounds blunt, but you will get used to the funny looks, the feeling and accusations of bad parenting, it doesnt stop. its ignorance, people see classic autism on tv and think thats all it is. up untill a few years ago i thought everyone in ethiopa was sat in a field starving to death, but thats not true and was ignorance on my part because thats all i had seen on tv.  the amount of times people including family said, she hasnt got autism you can tell that by looking at her, or when they question what your child does, then after you tell them, you get, my child, the neighbours child, cousins child etc does that, and theres nothing wrong with them, they and most people dont understand, its not the same as normal children. after a while i would say what she hasm if they questioned it, id tell them to research it.

    its a learning curve and after a while you will know in yourself you are doing the right things with your child dont worry about other people.
