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.

    It’s good there is a moderator on here. I have been on other forums  not about Autism where the moment you even accidentley say.something that offends someone or they don’t like, you are pillorised, no one interjects to calm things down. The comments on here are more articulate and not that personal compared to some forums,  even if the person is feeling upset  about a post or comment. I have to give  credit for this,
