So I was tested for it once due to the way my brain works a bit differently and lack of desire for socializing.
I'm not autistic or really have any mental disability besides some PTSD which I've learned to live with.
though what they did find was that my brain has a really high level of neuro-plasticity and for some reason my ability to learn increased as I got older, to the point that I gained partial-photographic memory (mostly raw information, text, facts etc), and that some of it is crosswired giving me the ability to see music as shapes, colors, and patterns.
something which I thought was normal btw.
as for my lack of socializing, that's balanced out now but at the time it was because I couldn't relate to my peers, I was more interested in astronomy, physics, and engineering while they were more interested in normal teenager stuff.
also the PTSD didn't help, I had a deep hatred for general humanity back then.
