It’s not a severity of a disease though. They have different disabilities, just like a person might be better at throwing a ball than another, I am better at verbal communication than they are. And most of their issues causing them to act out aren’t due to the autism, but to the meltdowns caused by how much effort it takes to communicate. I get meltdowns from other things, but it’s just easier for me to avoid those things. It’s difficult to avoid verbal communication, so they are classified as needing a higher level of support in order to participate in a capitalistic society. If they didn’t have to do a job that required communication and were accommodated for their learning styles, they could contribute to society. It’s just society has no desire to put that much effort into it so the only thing they are offered is conformance. I find it easier to conform with my issues than they will that’s all it is.
