  @hellomiakoda@pdx.social yeah kind of. for diagnostic purposes you're supposed to take basically your worst day, so probably level 2, but if down the track you were in a situation where actually you hadn't had a 'worst day' in months and then went through a diagnostic process it might come up level 1 instead, and nothing fundamental about you would have changed, just how your life and environment is structured to meet your needs. ultimately, however you phrase it, with levels or 'support needs' or 'functioning' terminology or whatever else, the social model of disability applies. Somebody is not disabled by eg bright fluorescent lights, if there are no bright fluorescent lights in their environment. They would still have that adverse reaction if there were such lights, but there aren't so it doesn't impact daily life.
