[quote=Anonymous]Massively hot take - I think they should take the word ‘social’ out of it. It’s totally subjective.

Asd level 2: severely over and under reactive to external and internal stimuli, severe difficulties with verbal communication, developmentally delayed in gross and fine motor, severely delayed in cognitive flexibility, requires specialized education 
Asd level 1: moderately over and under reactive to external and internal stimuli, moderate difficulties with verbal communication, moderate challenges with cognitive flexibility, moderately delayed in gross and fine motor, may be mainstreamed with supports
Other thing: marked difficulty with theory of mind, marked difficulty with inference, perseveration and special interests like present - can attend mainstream school with limited support. Sensory issues may or may not be present. Cognitive flexibility may or may not be present. Recommendations for this group include educational setting with access to other x individuals 
Other thing - deficient in emotional regulation, deficient in cognitive flexibility, deficient in executive functioning abilities. Sensory issues may or may not be present, challenges with inference may or may not be present

Not exactly this but some version of it would be so much better [/quote]
