Is it normal to feel autistic when you're not?

I do similar things, I'm just less of a functioning human. Never been diagnosed as having anything but I can't ever focus (at least on the right thing, we got a Christmas tree today and I spent at least a half an hour plucking away any needles that weren't perfectly green) and I stim a lot (chewing on things, leg bouncing, fidgeting, etc.) but that's most likely because of my anxiety. I dont hallucinate though, which may be something you want to get checked out. Nothing wrong with being introspective and creative, though.

when i was younger my doctor diagnosed me with Aspergers, but when i turned 12 i sort of just got over it. but that's besides the point, i'm usually daydreaming throughout my day and thinking so much that i just can't sleep. i used to have horrible social problems and am still shy sometimes.

I feel almost the same way you do. except i dont have the color synth what ever thing. I have always felt that it is hard for me to communicate with people yet at the same time sometimes I feel like I have all of this energy flowing through my body and I have so much to say to people and I am often the center of attention. This happens mostly with girls, ones that im not real into or otherwise my anxiety would cause me to be quiet and withdrawn often time awkward as well. Do you get that at all? People say im awkward quite often.

i have a form of autism, but it's a very mild case. i've always had a vivid imagination, and i have the sound to color synesthesia. maybe you should talk to a doctor and have them diagnose you?

Apparently every man has autism to a degree. I'm male and I hope this isn't true. But it's supposdely true.

i can kind of relate in ways, but i doubt it's anything like that. most likely you're trying to look for something it could be and connecting it with autism because it has some similarities and you want an explanation.
i'd say go see a psychologist or someone and have them diagnose you. i don't mean that to say like you have something wrong with you, more so that you're special in a way unlike other normal people. i have the same type of feelings and would want to be diagnosed if i had the money to see someone..
idk if i'm making sense but whatever.

basically the creative side of your brain is leaking over to the realistic side and causes you to mix reality and nonfiction.

You sound just like me and I'm not autistic. I think we're just introverts and introverts tend to have a much more broad imagination then extroverts.

I think some can have characteristics of autism and not meet th criteria for a diagnosis. The fact that you are so self aware of all of your difficulties is not autistic like in itself though.

I do the same things

Well, at least you have a mind sufficiently interesting enough as to ensure that you don't have to be constantly occupied by other, external things to avoid boredom :P

I suppose what you're trying to say is that you relate to what you've heard of autism because of these various differences and the social awkwardness that you've described. That's kind of normal.

You sound like a very dreamy, introspective sort of person. There's no need to seek to pathologize your behaviour, especially if you're functioning alright. I can seem preoccupied to others too. Sometimes, I just want to stare at something for no apparent reason other than I like to, for example, just sitting or lying down somewhere zoning out, or one of my favs, looking at the sky.

When I was younger, I used spend time to just sit in my bed, "thinking." My brother thought I was very weird.
