[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS: Here's the Pearson link https://images.pearsonclinical.com/images/assets/basc-3/basc3resources/DSM5_DiagnosticCriteria_AutismSpectrumDisorder.pdf Table I states that "[b]Without supports in place[/b], deficits in social communication cause noticeable impairments. … For example, a person who is able to speak in full sentences and engages in communication but whose to-and-fro conversation with others fails, and whose attempts to make friends are odd and typically unsuccessful." That's exactly what everyone who has been disagreeing with OP has been stating, no? Note that it does not say someone with Level 1 autism cannot survive or function at all without supports, but that doing so comes with impairments. Isn't that what the author of the article was noting about her own life? [/quote] people with that level of impairment are at Harvard? Highly suspect. [/quote]
