I mean, these are the commonly-heard and/or understood things. Even autistic people are still trying to get together and figure out what they are statistically. It really is hard when the word “autism” is used as a euphemism for general intellectual disabilities, or when tons of people keep claiming they have it only so they can feel special.
People like me have all these symptoms and more. Trichotillomania is a life-ruiner for me, and I know a lot of other autistic people deal with that and other sensory issues too; but people just don’t know about those symptoms yet.
