After talking to an autism coordinator and their organization it looks like my province considers autism "retardation" and anyone that tests above 85 on an IQ test is technically not considered "autistic" as I found out the majority if those on the spectrum (at least according to them) have co-morbid MR by 70%.
Is this true? We get all this information about those with Asperger's having normal to above average intellect but is it just really all a lie? I feel like the general psychiatric consensus is that autism is mental retardation no matter what.
What is going on? And what's the real story. I find this confusing as Hell and don't understand.
