Maybe watch a few autists in YouTube. If you find they have the same speech patterns and mannerisms you do, well then you should probably look into it.

Anyway, it's nothing to worry about. You are who you are either way. But if it turns out you're autistic, maybe you can find some help for some of your issues that'll actually help for a change, because most advice just isn't meant for us.
