THE AUTISM SPECTRUM
The autism spectrum ranges from severe to light.
Severe: "style-86">What most of society considers as autism. Nonverbal, very little body to environmental awareness, self-abusive behaviors
Middle:More interaction with environment. Some receptive but still very limited expressive language
Light:High Functioning Autism/Asperger Syndrome. Average to above average IQ's. Some extremely intelligent… yet some significant challenges.
My placement at 18 months: "style-110">In the middle or moderately autistic
