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.

  • I can see why levels are not helpful. When each Autistic individual or individual with Austism can be challenged by one thing a lot and not so challenged by something else. From what I understand there are good and bad days. I am learning I hope. One thing I would never call a neurotypical person is normal implying neurodiverse people aren’t normal. What is normal? who is normal? answer no one is.
