It is generally not a good idea to try to diagnose yourself based on a list of symptoms. Not only are you likely to attribute symptoms to yourself that you may not have (or may not have in enough quantity to be considered important), but you can't be completely sure that your source is accurate. Psychologists use a lengthy list of requirements to determine whether or not a client suffers from a particular disease. It's not just based on symptoms, but severity, frequency, duration, as well as a large amount of environmental data.
Autism is extremely common, recently, but it shares many symptoms with other, less severe disorders. The best thing to do would be to go to a clinic and get tested. If that is out of the question, try talking to your high school counselor. Most high schools these days hire counselors with some background in therapy. At the very least, he can point you in the right direction.Health Question & Answer

You don't have autism. You speak properly, you have friends, and it would have been recognized around 1st grade. You might of Asberger's Syndrome, which is a mild form. This is characterized by low social abilities- hard to make friends or trust people, hard to start conversations, being confused about emotions or facial expression, not being capable of dealing with change, are all symptoms. If you are serious about thinking you have a mental illness, you should talk to a doctor.Health Question & Answer
I've realized that a combination of OCD and Anxiety/stress will cause alot of the symptoms but of course not even close to as severe. Maybe go talk to a psych so you can be evaluated, but i'm going to have to say I highly doubt you have Autism. Health Question & Answer
Autism isnt some stupid second rate mental problem like ADD. People with autism really have something wrong with them and you cant blame every little problem on Autism because most people dont have it. My brother has autism and you can really tell when someone i autistic. ANd your symtoms arent autistic. Autistic kids usually dont have friends.Health Question & Answer
Unlikely. Perhaps Asperger's, which is on the other end of the spectrum. Autism is very severe and it isn't likely that you would make it to 17 undiagnosed.Health Question & Answer
