I have Atypical autism but I don’t know if that is the most common type. 🤔 🤔 🤔

It depends on.

I personally think a lot of autistic people are not diagnosed for having these “atypical” traits. By “atypical”, I mean traits that haven’t caught the eyes of neurotypical doctors and/or writers to the same degree. I know way more autistic people that are “hypersexual” and/or touch craving than asexuals and/or touch avoidants, two of which got way more attention in both medicine and culture.
