Do I have autism?

I've had trouble in the past understanding people and trying to interact with neurotypicals. It sounds like I have autism.

  1. I get angry at perceived insults especially from my family. The police had to be called a few times.
  2. I have obsessive interests that I can't stop talking about
  3. I have barely any social skills (I can't read body language very well which gets me in trouble.)
  4. I've been bullied in grade school by my peers which led to me hiding myself behind the portable classrooms and cowering in fear from the school administrator's wrath.
  5. I'm very intelligent and articulate when it comes to my obsessive interests or my educational background.
  6. I'm single and living with my parents
  7. I'm not athletic so I enjoy literature and music.
  8. I often have to repeat myself verbally in order to understand something, which frustrates many of the people I deal with.
  9. I've spent my whole life trying to fit in, but I've failed miserably everytime.
  10. I've been discreetly bullied to the point that I've gotten in trouble and my abusers got off scott free.
Does it seem like I'm autistic? If so, how do I mitigate the effects of my problematic behavior? I need help.
