If you think you're Autistic, you likely are. Given long wait times and privileged access to diagnosis in the UK, self-identifying is reasonable, also for those who don't want a formal label. Social media has allowed people to connect with lived experiences, helping them identify themselves.
"Experts" don't see autism way too often. If you don't need an official diagnosis for something, then you still can live like you got one and help yourself.
