      To be on the spectrum is one thing, but low functioning autistic is just soul crushing for people to deal with. I’ve seen some siblings struggle just because their family was pretty much screwed trying to raise a low functioning autistic child. I think I’ve interacted with two such people in many years, so it’s not particularly common compared to the larger population on the spectrum.

      It’s one reason I don’t like autism as a spectrum, as there’s a world of difference that doesn’t seem right to cast one net over.
