> I just assume everyone is bored when I speak

Sorry to say, and this is not a diagnosis, but that's more common for anxiety and depression than autism.

I think it can be common among others as well :)

The reason for why you assume this makes a big difference.

Unfortunately anxiety and depression are also very common comorbidities in autism, so there's that overlap too.

No single question, or even single form, would be enough to tell whether someone is autistic or not.

Anxiety and depression absolutely do not contraindicate autism. Where did you even hear that?

You know, detail-oriented thinking as in autism can make it a lot easier to fixate on specific negatives or anxieties compared to neurotypicals.
