I feel like I have ASD Level 3.

You're lucky you were able to mask and control your behaviours in front of police.
I've had meltdowns in front of police, because of trauma.
Either that or I freeze (shut down / flat affect), and they don't take me seriously.
When I'm in a stressful situation I can't self-regulate and I go mute, or roll up like a child.

You seem to be questioning your ASD status all the time.
Did you ever go for an assessment, and what did it say?

That is because I did self-therapy and studied psychology myself. Although, I do have IEP and IPP goals to learn social skills as well.

I've been in therapy since 1997 and more intensively since 2009.
I also do OT and Speech-Language therapy.

I hope you get an assessment so you will have all the answers you're looking for.

Thank you!

In other words, it's highly doubtful that you have Level 3 Autism.

Take Isabella's advice, and get assessed for autism.

I have a diagnosis of Autism, but with neurotypical social skills.

From the ICD-10?

It is an outdated diagnosis of PDD-NOS from DSM-4 I was diagnosed as a toddler in Israel. Nowadays they just put Autism in my IEP records.

Are you under 18 years of age?

No, I am 21 years old.

I am in special education until I am 22 years old. At age 22 at summer is when I graduate.

That makes sense.

I agree with Isabella.

I will do re-test again. Thank you!

That makes sense.
