There's lots of discussion around this in the #actuallyautistic and academic community. A good place to start might be looking at recent publications by @SueReviews and her co-researchers, and some of the folks at STAR <https://stirlingautismresearch.stir.ac.uk/meet-the-team/> - @autgeek especially might have good pointers.

The short answer is: stay right away from anything that divides the community into high support/low-function and low-support/high function. Any autistic person can fall into both of those categories within the same day, depending on social context, challenges, their particular profile, etc.

Think instead in terms of appropriate enabling support, inclusive design and decisions, and so on. But go read up on - and talk to - the people I've mentioned.
