As a diagnosed autist, a lot of this is true. I can literally hear things most people can't, it's how my brain focuses in on sounds.
As a kid, I never liked playing with dolls. During the 'tism test, they tried to make me play with barbie dolls. I made a mockery of the test instead, since I like video games and not fucking dolls.
Sometimes I get lost in thought and could accidentally infront of a car.
And yes, routines and habits are fucking strange. Sit down and tell me the filing paperwork garbage we do makes 100% sense and is efficient.
On the speech thing, I was laughed at when I said my first words so that made me not speak again for years, they thought I was just stupid. Nope. Just didn't wanna get laughed at for talking. And of course the inability to relate to others makes sense, when you're different relating is hard.
And of course different people find different things frustrating.
**Disclaimer this doesn't apply to people with low IQs and autism, as they have a bunch of other issues from being actually retarded, this applies to individuals with autism and not retardation as a comorbid condition
