Level of autism

Ella_Roulette

Hi, 

I was diagnosed and told im level 1 Autistic. On the internet it says the mildest form of autism but I feel I struggle with all aspects in my life. I did try and explain although I seem quite at times it's because I shut down in myself when anxious like during my assessment. I'm worried if means I'm just mild and don't need as much help or understanding or I should keep masking because people think I'm weird. Has anyone else found this? 

Thank you.

  • The levels are related to the amount of support an autistic person needs in order to function, or at its most basic to exist, in society. It does not take into account the anxiety, exhaustion and mental ill health that an autistic person might experience in order to appear to function.
