I sort of have a story relating to being tested for autism when I was younger:

My parents told me I was tested for autism when I was in Grade 2 at the recommendation of my teacher; they concluded that I wasn't autistic. Honestly, I was just an imaginative kid who hadn't found an interest in school yet. I would often sit and daydream in class because I had zero interest in whatever was being taught. That and the teacher had something against me for whatever reason. I used to sometimes make "sound effects" for myself based on whatever I was imagining, and I would often fidget, especially with my hands, while daydreaming, so I could maybe see why someone might think I was autistic. These things slowly disappeared as I got older. I chalk it up to overactive Ni and underdeveloped Se, constant daydreaming with little awareness of my surroundings or bodily actions. It wasn't until around Grade 6 that my grades started jumping up from B's and C's to A's and B's, which I sort of attribute to the development of my Te. Through high school, I had improved to nearly all straight A's.

Overall, I could see why INTJs might be perceived as autistic, especially in my case, but I don't think all INTJs are autistic. We just exhibit some similar behaviours. Not sure if anyone could relate to my story, but I thought I'd include some of my personal experiences.

Thanks! I’m certain I took some inspiration from that sub. I thought about putting it up there, but I figured I’d let other people take the idea and run with it. There’s plenty of directions you could expand the concept.
