Is a professional diagnosis any help?

This is an area I have tried to find answers to myself. I can though find the language the wording of the documention quite strong. I think it comes from the DSM saying sub substantial support is needed for level 2 and beyond. I get that is for education a lot. My brain took it like may be it is not good to live home alone unsupported. I have had OT support which I found useful. Any care work I have had I think has been for other conditions I have had it seems. My area seems to focus more on providing social support for learning disabilites than people with just autism.
