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.

  • This guy explains really well about misconceptions of "high functioning" autism m.youtube.com/watch altho I do wish his background picture was in line with the youtube frame. 

    Autistic people have different struggles depending on environment or a particular day. Some people will need more support than others to live an independent but we all have spiky profiles. I suppose we are differently autistic.
