I've heard there's a scale of 1 - 10, or something like that, but I haven't been able to find anything. Help? :)

Asperger's/Autism/PDD-NOS are all categorized under Autism Spectrum Disorder. The severity is measured on a scale of 1 to 3. Level 1 is requiring support (Asperger's/HFA/Mild PDD-NOS). Level 2 is requiring substantial support (Moderate to High Functioning Autism/Moderate PDD-NOS). Level 3 is requiring very substantial support (Low Functioning Autism/Severe PDD-NOS).

Oh, that's it? I did see that, I just thought there would have been something a lot more clearer. This whole thing is worse than I thought...
Anyway, disappointment aside, thank you :)
