For those diagnosed, what level are you?

...if you're comfortable saying. 

It occurred to me after just reading another post that maybe my Level One makes some off the things I say on here seem a bit OTT (it doesn't feel that way though!) if the majority are L2 or whatever and have more 'right' (stupid thinking I know) than me to be saying anything. What percentages/ratios predominate on here in terms of all this?

Paranoid thinking maybe, it gets the better of me sometimes. I just got a weird feeling of embarrassment that I may have presumed I belong somewhere I don't. I think it will pass, and thanks for undertanding my posting this even though I can sense it's (I think?) a bit skewed, having come up as a sudden fear that seems to be demanding early closure/external invalidation. My usual issue!

  • "Barking" I think is my current level.

    But I'm fairly peaceful, happy, and well disposed towards the world, since getting my diagnosis very late in life..

    Autism requires mental discipline and a love of love to make the world work, I feel. 

    I'll go and look at the vague and faintly confusing words on a bit of paper I got from a trickcyclist stashed away hereabouts, and see if there is any level to my Autism indicated. Reading a gospel, to be honest, has been way more helpful and less invasive than any MH "help" I've experienced or witnessed so far..

    And you ain't paranoid if they really are out to trip you up... Apparently the correct phrase is "hyper vigilant".
