If ASD is a spectrum why do people commonly disagree that you can be mildly autistic or severely autistic etc.
My daughter is diagnosed with ASD, however you wouldn't really know unless you knew her well. She goes to mainstream school and copes well with everyday life most of the time so to me I would say she is mildly autistic but I often see people getting ripped to shreds on here for using that term.
Genuinely wondering how 'spectrum' can literally be in the title of the condition but people disagree there can be different severities.
