Different levels of autism?

I’m not really a fan of  having different levels of autism, my personal needs can vary on a daily basis. Some days I can function quite well, other days I can become non verbal, struggle to dress myself and have quiet debilitating anxiety. I  have realised that I would actually struggle to live alone, I don’t answer the phone or open letters, my wife makes sure everything is paid, I would never pay anything, not because of lack of funds, It’s just always something I can do tomorrow. I’m aware of the criteria for each level but do any of us fall into just one level?

Sounds like we have a similar experience Roy, if it weren't for my other half plugging the gaps in my executive function I'd not get by nearly half so well as I do now. I am afraid that if anything should happen to my otherhalf not only would there be greif but I couldn't function living alone.

It is something that I only recently discovered is part of my quirky life. I didn’t realise how much my wife carries me. The level 1 diagnosis states, “ requires support “  it’s definitely not “mild” autism.
