@hellomiakoda@pdx.social Here's the thing. A properly supported level 1 or even 2 autistic with all the accommodations they need, is no longer diagnosable in many cases, because the diagnostic criteria are based on things impacting daily life, and when you're properly supported you can reach a point where most symptoms/traits don't interfere because your world is built with them in mind. Diagnostic categories like this are a social construct, and they fail to account for most of the complexities of actual existence. Therefore, on different days you will measure up in different ways based on how you're feeling and how well supported you are.

    @yayroos@tech.lgbt So you're saying I might be a level 2, and my "level 1 days" are when I have better support and/or less incompatible demand?
