Is it possible to have Autism & barely noticing?

Im 25 years old and I think I may have Autism.. I was never diagnosed but I always felt different. I had a hard time making friends growing up and I still do. I'm not a very good conversationalist & I do stumble over my words sometimes. I did have speech problem when I was in elementary but I guess my parents never felt the need to check if I had autism.

Yeah, I have high functioning autism and am quite similar based on your description... the diagnosis does nothing for me so I would worry honestly

Not an expert on the subject, but high functioning autism is definitely a thing. You'd need to go to a psychiatrist to confirm it.
