Autism is more than a set of sensory issues and social deficits. People who know what to look for in autistic people can sometimes spot it in the way someone moves through their environment and interacts with it. Autistic people have this awkward yet conscious deliberateness about the motions/gestures that neurotypicals make without having to think about it. Blending in and not looking weird takes conscious effort a lot of the time.
Mmhmm!

For the record, I am autistic myself.
