I don't know. If you are a "little" autistic, you don't have as many issues. I get that you have lots of issues, just not as many as say, someone who is non-verbal.

What would be the point of doing away with the word "mildly" because aren't you then downplaying what severe autism looks like? So aren't they just saying that the support structure for "mildly" autistic people isn't strong enough?

Seems like a really indirect way to say such a thing.
