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?

  • Thanks  B'lanna Torres and Tammera I appreciate you both sharing your stories with me. At the moment I am learning a lot about AS-HFA. And finding things that def identify my son and others that are def not like him at all. I can't wait to get back to the paediatrician and find out what they think now, nearly a year on. 

    I think the most important thing i have learnt is what you said B'lanna, that no two people with AS-HFA are the same 

    Thanks
