    I may be lightly autistic.

Perhaps the correct term here is Aspergers? I'm not for self-diagnosis in any form, though I'm all for getting more information on the subject. The DSM-5 Manual they reference is what made the change to enveloping more diagnoses into the "Autistic Spectrum" - Aspergers being on the lower end of the spectrum - allowing for more flexibility with defining autism as a social disorder and what else defines the latter.

I was diagnosed as an aspie last summer, so I think I'm able to give a bit of insight if you decide to look into it a bit further.
