I hear some people assigning numbers (like "levels") to their autism.

Is there a website that describes these "levels" in detail?

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services "Subcommittee for Basic and Translational Research DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria" describes the levels http://iacc.hhs.gov/subcommittees/basic ... tml#table2 well.
