Different levels of autism?

NAS88295

Hi, 

I know they call it ASD, but are there different levels of autism? 

my assessor said you either have it or you don't? 

I can see there is like level 1-3 

is that depending on what support is needed? 
I get asked how severe is my autism? 

thanks

  • People say your not very autistic or i think we all are. What they dont know about is our personal deep habits, stimming, struggles etc which we deal with alone at home. Personal things. They woukdnt know, because we hide them and why should we tell all to get their understanding.

    I have felt like the struggle doesn’t stop when you have a diagnosis, because when you have a diagnosis and the added supports that equalise you amongst your peers, your peers have a problem with every step that you take above the dirt.
    People feel as if you shouldn’t continue be to equalised if it means you surpass them.
    Despite the fact they thought you were substandard prior to support, they believe that your equalisation is beyond fair, when really if you had been playing fair the whole time, you would have lapped them several times.. and you are even more capable now, because of the struggle you’ve had to endure, that neurotypicals would never have to typically endure.
