I wish more people knew this. I'm tired of people saying my youngest (who has autism) is high functioning. I also get asked if he has Asperger's all the time, which is also frustrating because his psychologist said it's no longer a thing. At least not where we live - I'm not sure if it is still diagnosed in other regions.

And when I say people have asked if he has Asperger's, I really mean they've told me he has it. I've had multiple people say, "I don't think your son has autism. He just has Asperger's." Apparently they know my son better than the mental health providers who have diagnosed him multiple times over the years.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a rant here lol. I'm glad you and your son have some answers now. :)
