What behvaviours/thought patterns do others have that could be related having Austism?

Hi Again,

 I'm just trying to get a more understanding of the parts of me that could be due to ASD so just wondered what behvaviours/thought patterns others have that could be related to there austism?

I'm undiagnosed waiting for an assessment so the few i've listed below might not even be ASD related.

Spreadsheets for me are like mindfulness! - when i'm stressed/anxious i can work on one for hours (not actaully realsiing how much time has past)

I have to sometimes google search how to respond to messages.

I struggle socialising in groups

i've not had a long term relationship before

I have to do things in certain order (e.g  - set out plates etc... before i can start cooking)

Either working/at home, if i think i can do something can be done another way/eaiser then i'd try it - sometimes not realising that others don't agree (i had a bad experaince when i was on work experaince at 16years - i was asked todo something but i was doing it in a different order to how others may do it, which resulted in the manager slaggling me off infront of a myself and customer to another collegue - I'm always nervious todo things the wrong way now)

I've not been able to finish a college course as i struggle writing assignments - incase i write it wrong, although the ones i have done i get a merit or higher but then i hit a wall with anxiety and cant carry on.
