Long post, but very engaging. It's an important time in your life and one that will lead to more learning about yourself and those around you, I'd think. Hopefully a weight is lifted.
I remember my mother saying I was tested for it as a wee little kid (not sure how one tests for that). But it would up not being the case. As somebody with spina bifida (which has nothing to do with autism spectrum), I am subject to certain social discrepancies that might have somehow mimicked something in autism.
Anyhow, I'm glad to see this post and hope it helps to have posted.
