ASD level 1 (high functioning autism) is typically first diagnosed in children. In contrast to those with ASD level 3, people at level 1
acquire language skills normally, develop appropriately in cognitive
abilities, and tend to have higher-than-average verbal skills. The most
significant feature of ASD is the inability to interact appropriately on
a social basis. If untreated, many difficulties continue into
adulthood.
