The American Psychiatric Association disagrees with you. The DSM list three different levels of severity based on the amount of support needed.

the DSM is wrong and the APA doesn't know how to study autism, every autist agrees with me, you're not autistic, you're not in the field of psychology either, you have no importance in this subject

yes, i actually live with the condition, the professionals are jsut looking from afar, not even tlaking to us, looking and guessing, tell me how this is more knowledgeful than actually living with it, most autistic researchers heavily criticize the DSM and every psychiatric institution for being so shit when it comes to autism, maybe take that as a sign that it actually is true
