while I understand you're sharing your personal experiences, I have to be honest: nothing in any of your article clearly points to autism. What you described sounds more like social anxiety, introversion, or struggles with self-esteem — things many people experience, neurodivergent or not.
Autism isn't about feeling left out or not clicking with people. It's a developmental condition with neurological differences that affect communication, sensory processing, routines, and social understanding from early life. You didn’t mention any of those core traits — no sensory sensitivities, no developmental differences, no communication challenges in the way autism typically presents.
Realising you relate to a poem or feeling different doesn't equal a diagnosis. A lot of people feel awkward socially or struggle with friendships — that doesn’t automatically mean they're autistic.
I think claiming this identity without a solid grounding in the actual traits or history risks diluting what autism really is — and that affects people who genuinely live with it..

Thanks for your opinion. There aren't actually that many articles on my page yet.
