Not officially autistic yet but took a test as my pyschiatrist thought I may have asperges. Waiting for the results.
I have OCD as well. Unlike OCD, which can be controlled with one's will (theoretically), I feel like there is nothing one can do with autism. Trying harder doesn't make me more "social" person. I am tired of people leaving me and getting rejections in life because I am viewed to be rude and annoying when I had no intention to act that way. I feel people with autism cannot have a successful social life unless you can force people to like you with power like Elon Musk (although it is debatable whether he has asperges or he is just socio/psychopath.)
