Neither do I, but they're always saying that poor balance, motor skills and handwriting are symptoms of autism.
Everything's a symptom of autism.
Autism must have about a thousand million symptoms.
Once I saw an autistic with severe dyspraxia online.
They thought they have severe autism because of the severe dyspraxia, and tries to upstage or undermine autistics with lower support needs because it doesn't apply to autistics "like them".
More like someone with "mild autism" and with severe dyspraxia.
They're nonverbal all because of aphasia of speech, requires a caretaker because they couldn't physically able to -- but are more eloquent in thought and more of an aspie in spirit than I ever will be.
I never interacted with this person.
They don't impress me nor pity them.
Had I cared a little, I would've told them to speak for themselves or something. Except I never cared much.
They look and classed off as "more autistic" all because they cannot pass and function because of a severe learning disability.
And that's when I started spotting and splitting things off from autism, questioning the idea of what constituted as 'severity'.
Then at the same time realized that, unlike most autistics, I don't have a co-occuring condition.
