I would certainly hope not - they may call it a continuum but that does only really muddy the water. While there are a lot of similarities in what can help high functioning and low functioning people cope the amount of day-to-day help can be black and white. I much preferred when high functioning people had &quot;aspergers&quot;, because even within the high functioning moniker there&#x27;s a huge range. HF folks don&#x27;t like to be treated as if they have a fundamental disability (which is disempowering) just as caretakers of LF people need a lot more of the recognition and assistance that a serious disability requires.
