Questions Concerning Autistic Traits--Thanks in Advance!

I was diagnosed autistic during Covid, but ever since childhood, I have always been extremely literal, able to focus extremely well when I am interested in something, and am curious about many different subjects, which leads me to study each in somewhat lengthy detail and have always loved all things mechanical and seeing how to put things together--from Legos to flat-pack furniture. I also tend to be slow at making decisions and in my thought processes, it is as though I have to percolate and though some think me "stupid" because of this trait, I do very well in college and in my work life. In addition, I am very spatially-oriented and can tell if something will fit in a given area, within a 1/2". I also, though not shy, tend to be introverted and have to decompress a bit if exposed to a lot of people, even in a positive way. I tend to hate parties and love working freelance from home and having my friends visit in groups of 1-3--over that and I am a bit overwhelmed though most would never guess as I have worked on masking for years. Time is difficult for me to keep track of, and if someone messages me I may truly forget to respond for over a month, so my long-distance friends know to repeat message or call if they want to stay in touch sooner than that and that I am not intentionally avoiding them, I just get sidetracked and also somewhat stress out with replying to others well. I also seldom get upset, unless someone is being very unfair/unkind to another person, and it takes a lot, usually a compiled set of unfair actions, to get me to address an issue and is in a somewhat linear, bullet-pointed fashion, which most people find very strange as I tend to focus on rational rather than emotional logic. Lastly, I only tend to get upset if someone around me is treating other people unfairly, not if someone is treating me unfairly, as I usually just let it slide and tend to avoid that person in the future. But my question is does anyone else have similar behaviors? Thanks in advance.
