So, I'm autistic, level 1.. and this seems to confuse people a lot. Especially those who've only ever been exposed to autistic people who have high support needs (level 3 autism)... or who have never heard anyone talk about and explain how lower support needs autism can look. So, this results in a lot of people thinking that to have autism, you can't live independently... or you can't talk without assistive technology... or, in general, you would just look very "obviously" autistic.
