[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there is really any way to tell right now. You will have a better idea by late elementary or early MS. In any event, the thing to invest in is a sustained effort to ensure your child acquires all the “activities of daily living” (ADL) skills that they can. There is some research that kids with autism and normal/high IQs start to diverge from their NT peers in ADLs as they get older, and that is more incapacitating than their academic skills. So invest in all the support and training you need to make sure they learn the skills to be independent. Tons of exposure to real life situations, learning to take transit, drive, order in stores, conduct themselves in a workplace, etc. [/quote]
