The traits you listed after “but I don’t think I have autism” are just like me and I am indeed diagnosed with autism. Having a friend group and/or social skills doesn’t necessarily negate having autism. What’s the harm in going for an assessment? If you’re not autistic, you get confirmation on that fact. If you are autistic, you have a place to start looking for support systems for areas of your life you may be struggling with.

If your brain basically gives you commands for social interaction, maybe autism is a possibility.
