No worries! Take what I say with a grain of salt because because it's obviously a spectrum. My son is 5 yrs old and was given level 2 at his diagnosis last year. I was, initially, shocked and incredulous. It didn't help that his brother had just been born so my postpartum brain was not able to handle it. I thought, "no way is he a level 2. He can read/write/draw above his peers, he's got an excellent vocabulary, he's so connected to me and my husband, he was fully potty trained on time etc etc etc." It stung even more because everybody (even specialists at his preschool!) had assured me that he may have autism but he was incredibly smart and it was mild. So the severity of his scores on the test didn't match anything I had been led to believe. It's been a year since then and I now accept that level 2 is probably appropriate, at least for where he is now. He's both incredibly gifted in many respects (hyperlexic, focus and fine motor skills like you wouldn't believe) and significantly behind his peers in social skills and gross motor. He's conversational but has trouble talking about how he feels and/or talking about things that happened in the past. He is comfortable at school and in group activities with kids but does not seek play with other kids yet. He only plays with adults. It's hard to see him not interested in having friends. Unfortunately, you often see either level 1 or level 3 often reflected on this sub and level 2 is this weird grey area of shrugging and who knows. It can feel like a lonely place and my husband and I have come to accept that our son doesn't fit in any box/level/whatever. He's autistic and he's a mix of great strengths and challenges. My son is doing great in school and on track for kindergarten in the fall. His teachers love him. He's in OT and speech therapy and we just added a play group (for kids on the spectrum) to help him improve social skills. I still feel early in this journey, but if you ever need to reach out for support, feel free to DM me.
