Listen to Autistic Voices. Stop using Mild or Severe Autism as a Label
While it's true a few people will self identify as having mild or severe Autism, I'd venture to guess a lot of that comes from internalized ableism. Or just straight up ableism. Also, many people who are considered having "Severe" autism, actually have co-occurring conditions. That is valid and needs to be communicated, but saying they are severe autistic basically comes across as "they are more of a problem for society," which again, is ableist.
