There is no such thing as 'low-functioning autism', functioning labels are prejudice terms used to assign worth to an Autistic person based on how well they pass as neurotypical. Functioning terms say absolutely nothing about the difficulties or severity of difficulties an Autistic person may have or how those difficulties may change at different points in their lives. What treatments are available for a person depends on their individual needs, not another persons prejudice judgement of them.

Is there such a thing as mid-functioning autism?
Yes. People with aspergers syndrome, like myself, are considered having high-functioning autism. So yes, there is such a thingA:I have not heard or read the term mid-functioning autism in papers on autism or Asperger's Syndrome, so it might not be a term that is typically used. Although, the term high-functioning autism is used, similar terms such as low-functioning autism or mid-functioning autism do not seem to be in common use, although that might be changing. The severity of autism ranges from mild to severe, so there are people with autism who function at different levels. The level of functioning (low, mid, or high) would be based on either IQ or how able the person is to function without help.
