Are so called autistic people here actually legitimately autistic?

I'm actually autistic. In my world body language and tone do not exist. Please say to me exactly what you mean and be patient.

Do you do the flappy hands thing when you're excited?

Over the years I've learned how to read body language and understand when people are being sarcastic. It takes all my mental resources to have even a basic conversation with someone, though.

What is the flappy hands thing? Usually when I'm excited I make embarrassing sounds to myself.

I can read people perfectly. Not even really nervous around them. I think I have MPD though so my sociability varies from interaction to interaction.

Fucking normies who pose as autists NEED TO GET OFF MY BOARD

I never bothered seeking a diagnosis for autistic spectrum disorder.

What is that testing processes like in the UK? Or is their no set universal standard.

Last time I had one they basically just asked how I'd feel in a bunch of situations then asked me to read shit to see if "The words pop out" or "Jump around the page" and shit like that

Oh yeah, I used to be a pretty bad stimmer when I was younger. Me and my therapist were actually talking about it last week.

Aspergers, coupled with a few symptoms of OCD.
This has been diagnosed, and I have taken medication because of it in the past.
