When rediagnosed under the DSM in the USA, I was a borderline 2, so that is where its set at. Most days I would pass for a 1, but I have those other days that are challenging.

How do I find out without paying to get diagnosed again? Is there a conversion table somewhere?
I looked up, seems I'm level 1. The funny thing is "requiring support". Where the heck am I going to get that? There's no service or help for adults here. They don't even cover diagnosis.

I don't get this autism level thing. Like when people say 'I'm level 2 autistic". Sounds like they're in an RPG or something.
Basically 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe. Some will say it doesn't work that way, that autism is autism and so on. But since I have spent so much time around so many autistics, I know that there is a difference.
I would say naturally I have mild/moderate Aspergers but because I have lived in social isolation for the past 10 years my social skills are really bad so it probably appears a lot more severe.
