Mild clarificationRe: argument

[Guest guest]

I clearly got the 'aquired taste' for my son! I was easier to parent than my

son is to parent (he is so rigid, oppositional etc). But I have other

impairments too (pain disorder,mood disorder etc). I would my AS is slighly

milder than my son because I do hear difference in tone of voice and he doens't,

but I have more impairment from anxiety, pain and mood disorders.

So the term " mild " refering to AS being " milder " than classical autism is the

incorrect term? Should be " higher functioning " ? And that refers to having

normal to high IQ?
