Another level based classification is done by the clinicians on the basis of the severity of the symptoms;
另一个层次的分类是由临床医生根据症状的严重程度进行分级；
with level 1 autistics requiring minimal clinical support, level 2 requiring mediocre clinical support and the level 3 autistics requiring maximum clinical support.
1级自闭症患者需要最少的临床支持，2级自闭症患者需要一般的临床支持，而3级自闭症患者需要最大的临床支持。
No matter the type of autism, the symptoms start to manifest within the first three years after birth.

We just process the stimuli around us differently than others and that can be a promising statement to develop an efficient therapy to treat severe forms of Autism.
我们只是以不同于其他人的方式处理周围的刺激，这可能是一个很有希望帮助开发一种有效的疗法来治疗严重的自闭症的说法。
A team at UCLA is already working on this project where they have seen that just by changing the stimuli of observable reality the autistic features can be normalized.
加州大学洛杉矶分校的一个团队已经在研究这个项目，他们发现仅仅通过改变可观察到的现实刺激，自闭症特征就可以被规范化。

Some autistics have super powers in the form of Savant syndrome in which they can do super computerized calculations in their minds like guessing the exact day on a specific date a thousand years from now.
一些自闭症患者拥有超能力比如学者综合征，他们可以在脑海中进行超级计算机化的计算，比如猜测一千年后某一天的确切日期。
In other cases, they have a super strong short and long-term memory due to which they can memorize numerous facts, patterns and details with clinical precision.
在其他情况下，他们拥有超强的短期和长期记忆，因此他们可以准确地记住大量的事实、模式和细节。
