"There are common traits the public associates with ASD:
lack of eye contact and social awkwardness
some autistic people either trained themselves or were forced to mask"
Yeah, that's me. I force eye contact, because I was told I came across as deceptive.
"lack of hunger and thirst triggers is a trait reported in autistic people"
I keep bottles of water in my office, to remind me to drink.

"If I say or write something it's been meticulously crafted to express my exact meaning."
That's me.
"I'm more likely to tackle an issue to get resolution because I’m unable to forget what was said."
Also that.
"I'm unable to recognize a person unless I actively examine their face for longer than it takes the average person."
And that.
