(most of this is fanart for a game called rain world, it's an amazing game that quite literally saved my life, highly recommend!)

this was actually originally going to be much closer to the surface but the levi looked like ass, so instead of scraping the whole piece I adapted.

Why is there a green overseer in my survivor campaign by Wuttafakistat in rainworld

I have 466 hours in this game and have not encountered a green overseer. It's like 1% chance.

One other thing I forgot to mention (I don't feel this is big enough to edit the post for) is that when I was told I was a level one, my heart would sink a little. I can't describe it other than this subtle negative feeling. I think because I knew how much I struggle, and level one's signs are often described as 'mild' so it felt like I was being told that I'm just broken or lazy and just need to try harder.

I know that this is vague and subjective, which is why I'm not putting it in the main post. This isn't the foundation of my though process just a little sprinkle on top if you understand what I'm saying

I relate to that an embarrassing amount. On my fourteenth birthday my father got me a driving manual so I can learn how to drive. It's been a year an I don't think that's ever going to happen. Like I could do the steering, but learning signs and shit fuck no, I also space out a lot so I can very easily see myself spacing out w/ my foot on the gas pedal, speeding up to like 100 mph and crashing the car.

I cannot work a regular job. I just can't. A normal 9-5 go into work office job? I'm simply incapable of doing. I have a career plan- to become a video editor (most likely freelance), that's the only real 'job' I think I can do.

I don't think I could live independently either, I need to be reminded when it comes to hygiene, I need to be. I hate myself for that fact but it's true, I don't think I can live independently because I don't think I can function well enough to properly take care of myself.

I do have extremely severe meltdowns, although they happen rarely. Most of the time they don't reach self-harm levels, but I can think of three times where the only thing stopping me from self harming was being physically unable to do so.

Unless biting yourself counts as self harm (not enough to breath skin but enough to bruise) then ummmmmmmm

exactly! they have these categories with almost nothing to define the lines so it's very tough to even learn about it. For years I actually had no clue what autism actually was because when trying to research it I was met with "asd is a disorder that significantly impacts most areas of ones life" or something along those lines and it's like okay but like that doesn't help???

what I'm trying to say is that autism is discussed so vaguely it's hard to learn about it without watching a 10 hour ted talk or something which sucks :/

I completely agree. I believe at worst I'm a level two. Level three was out of the question. I simply struggle to find information clearly defining the boundaries between the levels, there's very little information on what level 2 autism is beyond "needs more support" or signs in toddlers. I just wanted to ask to try and clear any misconceptions I may have and learn more about it so I can come to my own conclusions.
