I’ll argue the flip side. I have a son who is 13 and firmly L2/L3. This is where a lot of autistic people sit and specifically online they are grossly under-represented because they don’t have the capacity to socialize even from a computer or phone.
My older son is what used to be Asperger’s which I would define as your L1.
I continue to hate the fact that they flattened their taxonomy with DSM V. Asperger’s != Autism.
So I get and chuckle at the memes but when people think of autism they are thinking of my autistic son not the Asperger’s one.
The representation of autistic people in the media, and in social media like this, is not an accurate representation of autistic people

Yah I hate that people call SUVs, “cars”. They’re completely different.
And it’s terrible that people started calling lecterns, “podiums”. They’re entirely independent of one another.
And it sucks that people call 1/2 baths, “bathrooms” even though nobody’s doing any kind of bathing in those things.
