If you are extremely articulate then your seen as extremely able. What can you do if you can’t mix with people and are highly sensitive person but seen as very able and full of attitude. Do you think this is not autistic?

Just to be clear I’m not articulate and there’s no tone in this post and I’m not full of attitude but I am highly sensitive person. Just wanted ask the question as I appear to people like I have an attitude problem when I’m just angry about some important things to me. I recognise I don’t think the same as anyone but I know that being a highly sensitive person is neurodivergent and that’s definitely me. I would like to have another assessment as I believe the people who assessed me where so lovely but not possibly aware of people like me who is autistic but female and I know I don’t appear autistic but I am and I should be given a nhs verified diagnosis instead of living with out the diagnosis and also because I didn’t go into the appointment with my memory and mental health state properly. But from everything I’ve read in regards to assessment on this post. I think that I’m getting the message that it’s highly likely I won’t be diagnosed as autistic even though I am. So that’s actually the truth of it and it’s not worth paying for an assessment to get told I’m not. Thanks for all your replies as they are all good and helpful but I’m sorry I didn’t answer any of the questions that’s been asked.
Happy new year when it comes!
A forum is a space where people can share knowledge, ask questions, and discuss ideas around a specific topic or interest. It allows members to learn from each other, exchange experiences, debate different viewpoints, and offer support, while also creating a searchable archive of information for future reference. Essentially, forums connect people and foster community around shared interests.
It might be worth reflecting on whether forums feel like a supportive space for you right now, especially if questions are being perceived as conflict.

What is "best" for one person might not be for another. We get to decide what is best for us. That includes deleting a post or apologising.
As far as I can remember, you didn't say anything that required deleting or that required and apology.
Try not to remove your voice. You are entitled to say what you think. If you think something, it is likely someone else thinks the same thing but doesn't want to say. So you are speaking for them too. If you delete them you remove their voice too.
Even if you change your mind it is best to leave the original post and just say you changed your mind. You don't need to be sorry for thinking something.
I think you said you would find lots of questions quite hard, which is fine. It can be scary to speak up in case other people question your view. When stressed questions feel like criticism or interrogation, and seem like conflict. But questions are normally for clarification so people can try to understand, it shows interest. Some can seem hard if you are not used to it, but it is how dialogue and exchanges of views happen.
However, people also want to reach out online because they don't have anywhere else. If they find it intimidating they should not be put off. It gets easier with time, and you get your personal sensitivity setting right. It is still helpful to make contact with people online as it supports their social interaction skills, even if it doesn't always feel like it. Every interaction is a learning opportunity even if it requires a little bit of bravery.
And you can always reduce questions by making your point clear, saying why you want something, making closed statements, or just replying to others comments.
I think quite a few people look but don't comment. They miss out on the interaction they probably want.
