I am officially ADHD, but never officially got diagnosed as autistic. I suspect I am, to some degree but, at the same time, I don't think that getting a diagnosis or testing myself would meaningfully improve anything in my life. I guess that means acceptanceish.

Et Tu farmgineer?

The persistent suspicion that shit just ain't wired to standards, but having never experienced anything different how do you compare it, and if it where put on paper what does it change...

Severe ADHD here, probably not autistic but I also might be.... grew up liking Isaac Asimov. In a recent discussion someone was mentioning being autistic and feeling that's why they liked Asimov, and........ really struck a chord. So who knows, but besides being annoying, these things are also fun, so there's that. :)
