I don't remember which severity level you were, but even 1s get treated that way frequently.

I am so tired of bothering people. I am seen as weird and stupid everywhere i go, if i had the chance i would simply not work and get involved too much in the world so that i dont bother people but my mental health gets bad if i stay at home all day without doing anything.

I think i mask well enough for my parents but not other people. My intelligence is normal but i am socially underdeveloped. I still feel like a child and spend my time daydreaming mostly. Idk about severity levels, and i dont think other people care about that. They either see you as a retard or not. There is no middle, in between

Severity levels affect how well one can mask. 3s (like my daughter) do not even try to mask. She functions like a 1.5yo.
When we cannot read social cues --even as a 1-- we are thought of as retarded by NTs who do not know better.
