I'm pretty much talking about stupid things people have attributed to autism. I'll make a list below.

* Listening to Danish music
* Playing on chairs when I was a kid
* Finding clowns boring
* Being superficially similar to someone who was diagnosed with autism
* Being an immature kid(all kids are immature)

Well...most folks here on WP ARE autistic.

So doesnt that make your question moot?

In effect you are posting this self contradictory question:"how do people around you come to the RIGHT conclusion about you (that you have autism) but for the wrong reasons?"

People who post the opposite question ("What are the dumb reasons people doubt your autism diagnosis?") get more responses because that question is more relevant to more people on WP.

.

This is what I mean. I'm in the grey area and people often have less legitimate reasons for thinking I'm autistic.
