Different levels?

andi

Hi 

I’m confused by these levels, I’m assuming they are relatively new…

I guess generally I’m a level 1 but I feel like I cross the line into level 2 but I’m so confused Sweat smile I heavily mask but people still notice that I have differences to what is considered “normal” 

im moving into to own home for the first time where I’ll be living on my own (which I’ve never done before so I am so so nervous but I am excited too) I guess ill see what level  fit into when I move? 

does anything really define the levels or do you only fit into one?

  • You can be all levels at once or level 1 and level 2 or solely one or the other. It isn't clearly defined as autism as defined medically is very socially constructed and defined by what you see. It changes nothing is concrete and set in stone. I got moved into my own flat 8 months ago and my life has went down the toilet ever since. Drinking alcohol etc.

    Gosh I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you can find some support to help you. 

    I’m very lucky that I’ve signed up to get some support when I do move (my family are moving around the same time to a different area and so I’m up here on my own) to help with the transition. I’ve been in supported living before and I struggled then but moving with my family isn’t an option. I’m not fully myself around them (and they don’t believe I’m correctly diagnosed even though I was diagnosed through a specialist) and I’m in the middle of studies so it’s not an option and one of my younger family members (still an adult) is moving with them and he is just an awful awful person.
