A few people have said I might be autistic, but I’m not sure

Hi everyone, I’m almost 22 and a few people have “jokingly” said they think I have autism. There are some things that resonate with me, and others that don’t. I’ve been diagnosed with OCD, GAD and “social phobia” and have been doing lots of therapy work on my anxiety/ocd behaviours.

Some autism symptoms I kinda resonate with:

- i’ve always felt like I don’t fit in and I find social situations can cause me a lot of anxiety

- sensory wise, I don’t like lots of noise or very bright lights but tbh I think that’s normal enough? I physically recoil if I have to watch people brush their teeth, and the concept of mint toothpaste makes me want to jump out of my skin, I have to use a special unflavoured one lol. I’m bad at sitting still, and have to have something to do/fidget with if so

- I get very drained if I don’t have enough alone time

- I get very enthusiastic about the things I like, everyone knows me as the “person who’s obsessed with Game of Thrones” but like, I could also just be a nerd

Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this, if anyone has any insights I would really appreciate it
