Hello @and15

Yes, that is what it was originally termed. The National Autistic Society has lots of information about the different levels which you may find helpful to read

I like when I got diagnosed that they refused to put a label on it, just said I was autistic, and all autistic people are different, the labels can merge so you can be 1 with some 2 for instance, no 2 autistic people are the same they just have the same traits in varying degrees. The DSM is to assist the diagnostic people with a general diagnosis (which will, maybe unfortunately, place the person in one of those groups). Another label is the awful 'high functioning '.
