Diagnosis levels

NAS80743

My 9 year old son has recently been diagnosed with ASD, mild level. From what I have researched I would have said moderate level would be more reflective of him. I am also concerned that he won't then get the right level of support he needs which could affect how well he can thrive despite the challenges. Has anyone had a similar situation? Should I push back with the company who did the assessment, do they ever change it? Or am i overworrying? Does anybody know anymore how they differentiate between the levels. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Had that feeling, but then I was living with an alcoholic.  

    Were you in burnout, do you think?  Clearly you've raised a kid.  As have I and I managed just fine - I was exhausted, but coped and gave us decent living conditions.

    Substitute alcoholic for kid and throw in a few problems of my own and - burnout.  For a while there if I got out of bed and into the bath it was an achievement.
