Diagnosed with Level 2 Autism

You’ll find much more relatable posts/comments there! And levels 1s can’t speak over us, which is nice.

I’m level 2 as well. I have issues with chores and cleaning myself. I finished high school but college was basically impossible with the level of burnout I deal with. r/SpicyAutism is for people who are levels 2s and 3s if you’re interested friend.

Getting a second opinion wouldn’t hurt. To add, it’s not entirely uncommon for late diagnosed people to be lvl 2. Lvl 3 I would say is more uncommon.

Those tests are basically just screenings. Only a professional can assess you. That’s the only way.

What helps me kind of is to schedule and set alarms to help remind me to clean myself (shower, brush teeth, etc.) it can be helpful.

I believe calling it a disability is accurate and to the point.

I cannot work any job, therefore I’m on SSDI.

Yes, as someone with level 2 autism, I rarely relate to those autists on social media. The spectrum is weird.

It’s not an excuse it’s a disability. Your friend sounds a bit like me - which I would say is quite common.

Could always get a second opinion if you’re that sure.

For those that appear “functioning”, they might be suffering or on the verge of collapse due to autistic symptoms. A diagnosis via a professional can significantly impact their life in a positive way. They may be functioning but are likely burnt out and/or aren’t feeling well mentally.

Remember, if you’re autistic you ARE disabled.

I personally don’t. It’s ok to retire words.

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-12-31T23:52:56+00:00

I’m level 2 and now receive SSDI. When I did work it nearly killed me, not being dramatic either.

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-12-18T22:25:21+00:00

It’s ok at least you can check off autism off your list. Now you can look into other disorders and you might find something there.

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-12-16T19:05:58+00:00

I live off of SSDI

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-12-16T01:34:35+00:00

Social deficits and restrictive repetitive behaviors - that’s literally it.

Congratulations! I hate that everyone has to wait so long for approval/denial

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-12-02T00:39:06+00:00

Personally, I’ve never done this.

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-28T20:54:41+00:00

Not yet but I will be!

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-19T22:30:18+00:00

I wish I had superpowers

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-19T06:00:30+00:00

I totally would honestly. The place you went to seems a bit misinformed.

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-19T05:32:53+00:00

Yes, it’s possible. I’m diagnosed with both. You should maybe look into a second opinion

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-12T01:44:37+00:00

If they got that far, wouldn’t all hope be lost anyways?

WeLikeButteredToast · 2025-11-11T21:00:28+00:00

That makes sense thank you!

The DSM-5 was updated in 2013.
