DSM-5 Autism level criteria?

Post Reply New Topic

Knowing that "Aspergers" have been ousted as an official diagnosis years ago, I finally decided to take a look at the ASD "levels" which has attempted to take it's place as some weird homogenous rating system.

Is it just me in being utterly clueless to what the heck these levels mean? They seem to give almost no definitive criteria to meet on any particular level other than "Needs support, "Needs substantial support", Needs very substantial support"

How is very substantial support somehow more than substantial support when the amount of support is never defined in neither. What about aspies who have gotten on just fine without support? Are they somehow no longer autistic because they never needed it or because they have some high flying career?

It seems like they have to be vague because there is a huge variety of different supports a person might need: could be job accommodations, occupational therapy, a letter board, or a stim toy.

It's not much different from the previous diagnoses: they didn't specify what kind of support a person needed either.

We have to consider the individual to decide which supports are needed.
