@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.

Me three! I can handle the sound of AC just fine, but wind is actually a sensory trigger for me (both the sound and the feel) so I only turn fans on if it's really REALLY hot and there's no other way to cool down. And even then I usually leave them on the lowest setting.
