Hope this is acceptable to mods.. ?

This is for those who have high functioning autism or Aspergers.

Whilst all people on the spectrum vary, those with high functioning autism all share social communication issues (it's fundamental to the diagnosis).

I'd like to poll what results people were awarded for the following descriptor, whether they agreed with the outcome, and if they challenged it.

7. Communicating verbally.
a. Can express and understand verbal information unaided. 0 points.
b. Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to speak or hear. 2 points.
c. Needs communication support to be able to express or understand complex verbal information. 4 points.
d. Needs communication support to be able to express or understand basic verbal information. 8 points.
e. Cannot express or understand verbal information at all even with communication support. 12 points.
