Autistic cis woman, social justice advocate, library page, gamer, currently owned by a benevolent 10 pound feline overlord. Some of you may recognize me from Tumblr or Reddit. Still figuring out this Fediverse stuff.

@guriinii@A_Chilean_Cyborg In most of the autistic online communities I’ve been in, the consensus seems to be that each person gets to choose how they describe their autism. I personally prefer using “low support needs” rather than"high functioning" or “level 1” to describe my autism, because that best describes my day-to-day life. But I also try to respect those who use levels or functioning labels to describe their autism, because they know their experiences better than I do.
