You might find my research particularly relevant because what you describe are the experiences that I am trying to understand beyond the explanation of "it's autism". Some research suggests that autism is characterised by a lack of theory of mind, which refers to the ability (or inability) to image an accurate representation of the mind of others. I suspect autism might be characterised by too many theory of minds, in which you can see so many possibilities that assuming one over the other feels uncertain and unclear. You did the study perfectly because the impact of any of the experiences you described capture your experience, and it is your experience which matters most. So thank you for not only taking part but also sharing your insight... I'm truly grateful :)
