Autism levels can be so dumb sometimes. Like I get why they're necessary for some people, but also
Level 2= okayish masking skills, mid-support needs, being mostly verbal, and high/average cognitive skills, right?
Except I'm level 2 and can't mask, need help with at least 95% of things but probably more, aren't fully verbal if verbal at all most of the time, and my cognitive skills seesaw between advanced and barely existent.
Despite all this I'm not autistic enough to be level 3. Levels don't help me, they hurt me by associating me with people way more advanced and therefore losing me the few, few help I would get.
I have level 1, 2, and 3 friends and I'm none of them, which is why I'm level 2, but it doesn't work.
Possibly one of THE most frustrating things about experiencing cognitive awareness whilst having hallucinations/delusions/splitting episodes is getting that feeling, as if you're in the passenger's seat of a car, you've just looked over to the driver's seat to see nobody there, so you try to move to grab the steering wheel, but you're bound by invisible chains that shackle you to the passenger's seat as the car you're in speeds down the road, so your only hope to make it out alive as you struggle against the invisible chains is either that you suddenly grow superhuman strength and bust out, or you wait for the car to eventually crash or run out of gas so you can cry for help from horrified bystanders.
Or maybe that's just a personal thing because this entire scenario is based on a recurring dream I've had since I was a little girl that has followed me into adulthood, who knows

Supercompensation theory, typically used in sports science, posits that the body and mind grow stronger when facing stress or challenges, thus boosting performance, resilience, cognitive abilities, as well as personal and professional development.
Supercompensation is a theory in sports science that suggests if an athlete’s body is subjected to stress, such as intense training, it will adapt and become stronger in order to withstand that level of stress in the future.
