Hard to say: Since there is no one test or feature to rely on for early diagnosis, some kids are labeled early on that later don't meet the criteria for diagnosis. As we come up with more reliable testing and markers (gene studies), it is likely that a clearer picture will emerge. Most kids that carry the label will improve over time and some will function well with minimal assistance.
