I’ve been diagnosed with autism twice actually. I’d like to point out that I don’t have a rigid or unhealthy pattern of thinking, I have no behavioural issues or issues with ‘functioning’, and I do very well in most situations including social situations.
I had very abnormal behaviour growing up, but it never inhibited me, in a lot of ways it benefited me greatly.
Having autism does not guarantee harmful behaviour, which is why it’s not a personality disorder.
