Hello!

Hi,
I’m Franky. I was diagnosed as autistic, level 1 in September. I’m still processing what this means and how my life is/has been affected.
I’m a middle school teacher, I love video games and science. I don’t really feel like an adult, never have. Being an adult is confusing and difficult and has been for a while. Having this diagnosis has helped me put that into context a bit.

Hi and Welcome @Chimppetrolbomb

I was diagnosed a few years ago and am still learning what it means, so take your time and be patient.
Do hang around a read some of the threads - lots of good experience there.

Welcome!

One thing I find fascinating is that there are many of us that work or have worked in supporting others (teaching, mentoring, social services, social work, etc.).

Hello there! Can you explain what 'level I' means? I've never heard of...autism and levels. sweats nervously
