'm kind of tired of questioning whether I'm autistic or not.

I feel like there's too much general misunderstanding and disagreement about what autism is for it to even matter for me. I myself haven't been able to isolate autism from my introversion and mental health stuff.

There are too many instances of me identifying traits as "autistic" that can be then followed by "but that's just my introversion" or "that's just my OCD" or "that's just my social anxiety". Introversion, OCD, and social phobia are not necessary nor sufficient conditions for autism.
