Was gibt es alles so sowohl für: (Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede) zwischen sowohl: (dem High-Funktion-Autismus und dem Low-Funktion-Autismus) Syndrom?

… Self-advocates with mental disabilitiesandAAC usershave long spoken out against the harm caused by functioning labels like “severe autism” or “low-functioning” autism,as have parentsof autistic people with the most significant support needs. “Profound autism” is just an attempt to rebrand the same harmful notion. The is reality that autistic people, just like people with Down Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy, have a wide range of abilities and support needs, for lots of different reasons. The Lancet Commission conflates needing 24/7 support with having a measured IQ of 50 or below or being nonspeaking, but this is a harmful oversimplification — for example, there are many autistic people who speak or who have higher IQs but who require around-the-clock services, and there are autistic AAC users who live independently. We therefore know that IQ tests are notoriously unreliable for autistic people, especially nonspeaking autistics. Nor is it clear why the presence of co-occurring disabilities like mental disability or speech apraxia should result in a different label, when co-occurring disabilities are common in autistic people …

The use of labels functioning is, in effect, splitting autistic people into two distinct groups. While there are those among us who have difficulties, dividing us creates confusion. To avoid that, those tasked with giving diagnoses should refrain from using these much-derided labels.Autism is a spectrum, where many of us have different needs and skills.

By recognising that, functioning labels can be consigned to the dustbin of history. So, what should they use instead? Just a simple diagnosis of ‘autism’ will do. With that, the potential for autistic people to receive the right support and thrive well into adulthood will be far greater.

Persisting with these outdated labels will continue to harm autistic people, irrespective of their needs or talents. Those labelled as low-functioning will remain written-off, while the weight of expectation to ‘be normal’ will give those known as high-functioning extra pressure they may find hard to deal with.

I had no desire to explain everything myself, because I had to do it more often. functional labels (High/Low-Fuctioning/Fuction-Autism/Autism) are more bad than right. They don’t bring anything to an autist. We really don’t have to try to split autists into any group.

High-Functioning-Autism does not even exist. In most cases, the term “high-masking autism” is the correct term.

Likewise, such labels – as so often – try to spread the misinformation that one might be “more” or “less” autistic. One could have “lighter” or “higher” autism.

But autism is and was never a linear spectrum, but can be represented much better by a circular diagram. And a fan bag is no longer a pigeon than a spring dust. And Autist A is no more or less autist than Autist B, C, D, E, …

The problem is also that there are so many people who are neither high nor low-functioning. Autism is a dynamic disability.

You could simply ask what an autistic person differs from the next autistic person. But this question would also be difficult to answer, as we are at least as diverse as neurotypical people. Your question is not to answer. What distinguishes an autist from the other autist? Well, character, experiences, the level of support you get as an autistic person, Sensory Environment, possible co-diagnoses,/comorbidities your own past, culture, the country in which you grew up, the financial situation as the autism shows (the last link I posted here in the answer has some good examples to illustrate this better), …
