The sad truth is that “listening to nonspeakers” requires one to flip positions in their perceived hierarchy and that’s not what most “Autism Professionals” signed up for.
Some Autists experience Hyperphantasia, the ability to imagine sights as vividly as sight.
Some who experience Hyperphantasia indicate that they can overlay their imagination over their perception of site.
Some Autists do what’s referred to as “T-Rex Hands”
It’s basically keeping the elbows bent and the hands close to the body.
Many Autists are also “toe walkers”
It has been pointed out that when you combine the two, it’s basically a velociraptor.

Some Autistic Masks are so complete and automatic as to be indistinguishable from Allistic behavior.
Even the DSM-5 DX of ASD notes that an Autist might unintentionally subvert the diagnosis process through masking their Autistic traits.
it’s not an accident that you’re seeing a surge in “you can’t self-diagnose autism” takes at the same time that medical diagnosis of autism is becoming more dangerous and being written into anti-trans laws as a way to justify denial of healthcare. it’s not a coincidence.
While studies indicate that likely most Autist have some level of atypical clumsiness, some Autists have what can only be described as preternatural grace. (Some Autists are conditionally both)
