The use of "high functioning" or "low functioning" is now discouraged by clinicians and many autistic communities; it's seen as simplistic, confusing, and more reflective of the allistic perspective than the internal experience of autism. Autism is now diagnosed via levels: ASD1, ASD, ASD3. Can we update terminology on this and related pages?
I propose that we eliminate the characterization section here and overhaul this to be ASD1, which is the current terminology. Any objections? Monkeywire (talk) 15:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Objections, yes. We are supposed to follow what RS's say, so if the RS's use "high/low functioning" than that is the terminology we should be using. When RS's change their phrasing, than we should FOLLOW that, not precede it. ---Avatar317(talk)03:30, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
