Different levels of autism?

NAS88295

Hi, 

I know they call it ASD, but are there different levels of autism? 

my assessor said you either have it or you don't? 

I can see there is like level 1-3 

is that depending on what support is needed? 
I get asked how severe is my autism? 

thanks

  • I was diagnosed as 'High Functioning' three years ago, which I prefer to a number; however, I believe the term is now considered by many to be outdated.

    I don't mind being considered 'Level 1' but do not like the term 'Aspergers'.

    As I am unique, I guess I am 'Level Ben'.

    Of course, we are all unique.

    I'm sorry if that doesn't really answer your question.
