What level of ASD am I?

ASD level 1 is ASD with average IQ

ASD level 2 is ASD with mild Intellectual Disabilities.

Level 3 ASD is ASD with severe to profound Intellectual Disability.

I have been teased online form having level 3 ASD for being too obsessive with specific interests.

I have some kind of rare form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder or even undiagnosed Atypical Autism.

I have history of receiving special education and disability services.

I did have speech delay a long time ago and I have milder form of intellectual impairment.


I am sorry that I asked! I was so confused.

My friend R has ASD level 3 with high IQ.

He can solve mathematical problems very quickly.

So to say that there is a link between ASD level 3 and ID is not that valid as it seems.

Function can be impaired by more than low IQ. I have an above average IQ and it hasn't done me much good in regards to functioning.

Thank you! It makes sense.
