I've been on this planet for nearly three and a half decades, and this tiny comment just made a lot of things click for me. I'm gonna try and see a professional, I've got a lot to unpack.
Good luck and let us know how things turn out!

Might want to get checked out by an autism evaluator
I got 116. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but I've never considered myself on the autistic spectrum.
156 here, and also didn't think about it until my sister got diagnosed, and she has quite similar problems (and she had 157 in the same test, aha). Well, I just wasn't sure if it's "real autism" or "real" anything or that I'd "persuaded myself of something I can't reach as an important goal" etc.
