Thank you for your detailed response! I really don’t think I share any of the autistic features that you stated. I’m personally just a really quiet person at first. It takes a lot for me to open up and talk more (I do it better with some alcohol 😂). But I feel like psychologists can misdiagnose stutters all the time for someone that has autism. I personally try to avoid words that I think I will stutter on and sometimes it’s seen as me rambling on trying to get to the point so I am curious if I could be misdiagnosed.
