I'm just a wee bit non-social. 1st percentile.

I'm a Level 2.

Well it was called Asperger's Syndrome I was professionally diagnosed with at age 13.

It mostly affects me socially. And some weird unusual hobbies that can be obsessions such as bouncy castles and inflatables,lifts,trains,speakers.

I think I'm a combination of a Level 1 and a Level 2. I have a couple of issues that most people on WP don't have.

Confused about the real difference between "Almost completely neurotypical", "Neurotypical with some features (primarily social)", and "Light". Seems to me like 2 categories would be more than enough here.

Probably 2 but am older now so can try to comfort myself by saying one . Masking is better but very draining .

I don't know. I seem to have more serious sensory issues and with routine than most people on the internet who identify as being on the autism spectrum. It causes issues. But social issues, no. I used to have them as a small child, didn't know how to approach other children for a brief period of time, played alone. I had a hard time understanding feelings as a child too. Now I don't think other people can tell, especially when they know me superficially. I don't have to control myself much to socialise. I'm not considered odd. Learning - I'm a very good learner and stand out academically. So "primarily social features", no, it doesn't apply to me. I don't know what to mark, light or moderate.
