I absolutely agree with you about where the dividing line is. Your experience reminds me of an article my wife read out to me a while back. It was written by a guy who has an autism diagnosis. He brother is also autistic, but low functioning. And likewise he said that it's hurting his brother that there are thousands of people out there claiming to be autistic, whose symptoms are little more debilitating than social anxiety. It causes people to disregard the condition and underestimate the huge effort that families have to put in to care for an autistic child. Similarly, charities that accept donations for autism... Who gets that? The author of the piece that my wife read, said that he needs nothing, but his brother needs constant care.
