Almost all of them. It's the reason I am getting reassessed.

I make facial expressions and my voice isn't monotous.
I only sort of have mindblindness.
I don't have repitive routines.

I Dont Have High Intellegence.
I Dont Have A Special Interest (But I Am Very Good At Art)
I Dont Have Face Blindness.
I Think Thats About All.

I have all the symptoms, but they all vary GREATLY on severity. So like 1 being least sever, 5 being the most, etc.
