Autism and Support Needs Labels
I have a much more in-depth survey about this here, but I'm also curious if results will differ if this goes beyond the usual circle of followers for this blog. Please reblog this for a larger sample size!
Polls for medium/moderate support needs (MSN) autism and high support needs (HSN) autism will be added in reblogs; there can only be one poll per post.
For the purpose of this poll, consider specifically what you would think if someone told you their support needs related to autism. For example, someone might have low support needs from autism but have a severe physical disability.
Please only vote if you have or suspect that you have autism!
