Well, they're verbal, articulate, and pretty cute :p I have no idea what " mild, moderate or severe" means to be honest, I've come to think most non verbal autistic people are normally intelligent (we have some on this board that are very bright), and if you mean regarding functionning, how can you tell until you've seen them struggle to get a job or losing friends because they don't shower enough...I have no idea!

Why do you ask?

What do you think?

Mild, moderate or severe in relation to what? Compared to heavily autistic people they seem virtually NT, compared to NTs they do sound a bit strange.

I'd say two of them seem HFA and Sean seems more moderate.

"Mild, moderate or severe in relation to what? Compared to heavily autistic people they seem virtually NT, compared to NTs they do sound a bit strange."
Just how severe they are.

"Why do you ask?" Well, I'm just interested in what people think.

"What do you think?" I think they're probably mild with some learning difficultires; maybe. Anyone else agree?

mild to moderate... however i dont like to rank people in any way shape or form... but since you asked...

Why do you think they have learning difficulties? How can you tell that from this brief interview?

I don't see what you mean....Learning difficulties in what? Mathematics? I don't know what you mean and that makes me think I didn't check if you were AS or NT before replying your question, I never do but this makes me think I ought to start....

Learning Difficulties in maybe a coupple of things. Mathamatics, daily living, etc. BTW, I'm not AS or NT. I actually have Autistic Disorder (Just reglar Autism)

I'm not saying they defanitly do, but it just came across that way in the video. BTW, I'm really sorry if I've offended anyone, by making certain assumptions. It's just a game I like to play. I like guessing were people are on the spectrum & things like that. What type of autism do you reckon they have? Like AD, AS, PDD NOS, etc?
