OP is your Autism severe or moderate or is it just Asperger's?

In 2013, millions of people that have Asperger's overnight lost their identity when Asperger's was placed under the Autism Spectrum umbrella. Asperger's is regarded as a more mild form of Autism, where people can talk, have average or above average intelligence and have no intellectual difficulties. When most people think of Autism they picture the more severe kind where the person has intellectual disability, non-verbal and behavioural problems. Asperger's is a mild form of Autism but they have the social/communication skills deficit that is common with other people on the Autism Spectrum.


Prevention by not getting vaccines may help prevent children from getting Autism. It has been argued that vaccines may lead to Autism and not getting vaccines may help prevent Autism. Treatment for Autism involve learning social/communication skills, learning coping strategies and taking medications to reduce anxiety and behavioural problems. There is no cure for Autism, only expensive treatment plans involving psychologists, behavioural therapists, psychiatrists, etc.
