More people need to deep dive into this. Not enough people know how to seperate autism from allistic human experiance. Everyone stims, but the 'frequency of' is taken into account when being diagnosed with ASD. Same with being introverted and crying when frustrated/stressed. So 100% if your 'symptoms' aren't causing daily/weekly impairment then you aren't autistic. Sadly, most don't care to educate themselves so it's an endless loop of feeling unheard for a lot of us.
