It's totally fine if you're not autistic (and yeah, a lot of people have *some* of the traits but not all) ... but I wanted to quickly address one:

> good with lists of facts & bad with symbols/metaphors

That's a stereotype. Yeah, there's autists who are like that. But a *lot* of us have no issues with symbols or metaphors. I'm autistic, and as a writer that's actually one of the things I've gotten a lot of compliments for: the way I use metaphors and similes to build up a vivid image, all of which are *explicitly* grounded in me being autistic
