Sometimes I look back on my life and wonder exactly how much of my life and current personality is purely due to the autism.

Really interesting! It makes me want to get scanned now bc I share a number of the same character traits that you mentioned. But, who knows how much that is just looking for a pattern/explanation or whether it’s even a common thing. Having some idea of the cost and maintenance of NMR and MRI machines, I don’t imagine many places offer walk-in elective scans for bargain prices.
I was told by the neuro that the incidence of this is approximately 1:24000 births, so not exactly rare but not real common. Bet that ratio would drop if more autistics were actually scanned
