    It's a spectrum right. Autism describes, at least according to the reading I have been doing, between four and nine different sets of Brian configurations. With a couple dozen sets of symptoms that may or may not be present and overlap other diagnosis. So it is all kind of a mess. Since it is mostly made up we can just do whatever we want with it.

      That's fair, but the things that people have said I might have it for are being able to go against social ques(not not pick up on them, but being able to act against them), having a good memory, having a strong sense of justice, and not being super popular. it's just not something that clicks for me, but ADHD definitely does.

        To be a diagnosis one of the criteria is that it has to impact your life significantly. So you can have some of the symptoms and not have the diagnosis if it isn't relevant to you.
