This can’t diagnose you, but this checklist was made as a screening tool for doctors to see if you need a referral for a more in depth assessment.
6/10 is the threshold that they recommend for referrals, and anecdotally I’m on the spectrum and 8/10. So if you score highly on it that it’s worth looking into, which may be easier said than done depending on where you live.

The ones who asked aren’t Autistic, but both are neurodivergent in other ways. So still counts?
I think it’s a potential sign. You might want to investigate that further. Here’s a list of helpful and scientifically-established self-assessments: https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/

I like being “part of the herd” when mobilizing, is like loosely being part of something by a few seconds.
