Someone with autism who has a severe intellectual disability and is non-verbal has significantly different needs from a person who was formally labeled as having Asperger’s, so why are they considered the same disability?
In: Biology
Because it is.
It is broad because so many aspects of “normal” life can be affected depending upon the individual.
For example things people may seem trivial, for a person with asperger’s can seem massive such as doing something for the first time such as ordering an uber or a break in routine or as a 3rd example, being overwhelmed with information when multiple people are talking to you at the same time.
What affects one will not necessarily affect another and vice versa
