How does the autism spectrum work?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_spectrum
There is now some doubt whether Asperger's syndrome is a true autism spectrum disorder, based on a study of locomotion.
With both, there are degrees of severity.

Email me if you want to see my post about Asperger's.The characteristics of the spectrum vary widely. However, the diagnostic criteria mark deficits in communication, social interaction, and imagination (as well as repetitive behaviors). Other than those broad categories, people on the spectrum may be very different from one another.
As for severity, each person has their own individual abilities. Functioning levels and severity levels are simply stereotypes that harm people and do not work. Yes, there are some autistic people who do not talk but those same people can be incredibly smart and able to live on their own while someone who can talk cannot live independently. Everything comes down to individual abilities, not broad categories like high-functioning, low-functioning, or even Aspergers. This is one reason why the DSM-V is putting everything under 'Autistic Disorder'. So your question about something less severe than Aspergers does not makes much sense because severity all depends on your own abilities, not diagnosis.
As for how many who are on the spectrum but not diagnosed, no one knows the exact numbers but we can guess that many are. Especially adults who did not have a diagnosis that they fit as a child. Even some children today slip by without a diagnosis but fewer than before.
