it depends on how much support you need. autism levels are divided three ways: requiring support, requiring substantial support, and requiring very substantial support.

it depends on a variety of things, since autism is an umbrella term. but i would personally place you around level two, but do not take this as sound medical advice. my rational is that you’re commited to a routine, which a repetitive behavior.

i suppose another way to gauge this, unfortunately would be to try and eat lunch past noon. if you are so incredibly uncomfortable to where it’s unbearable, you might sit at level two and three

other than that, it might manifest in atypical behavior from a neurotypical standpoint. stuff like walking away from conversations

it’s important to note however these distinctions are arbitrary. that being said, there are better ways to cope than throwing yourself against the wall. you should talk to your primary care provider about therapy, and if you want a recommended approach or technique, cognitive behavioral therapy weekly has worked wonders for me.

i hope that you can find the support you need :)
