Hey, I have autism as well. I relate to so much of what you say (the social stuff at least). We aren't weirdos, we're just different. You have found good solutions for your problems, and I can learn from that. I was bullied in school as well, constantly, but at a much lower degree than you. You have had the worst treatment at your schools (maybe it's an American thing?). Something I am fortunate enough not to have had to endure. It makes me feel grateful for what I have and the ones around me who stuck with me. I am currently about to go to college, but I have a few friends even from grade school who I hang around with regularly. Keep on making you creative work, it's awesome!
I got diagnosed at 25 and it's become more obvious to me why life as an autistic person is almost unbearable.... I like to talk about details, others wanna talk about "the big picture"... Others want a short and sweet respond from you but to me it feels fake and forced. Like I'm suffocating. The messed up sleep schedule. Phobias, overthinking everything. I hate not knowing things. I hate abstract concepts. I hate thinking about death for example because no one can give a solid answer. A person who believes in Islam says one thing and an atheist says something different for example. And so many theories about what happens during death and where we go... I find the uncertainty horrifying. This coronavirus BS... It makes everyone uncomfortable but for an autist it's even more anxiety inducing... All the what ifs, delays, confusion.

Did you ever struggle with English or math or emotions?
I struggle with math, and emotions. English was never a problem for me.
What specifically do you struggle with in math?
Basic concepts. I have only started in my 30's to realize how to do some tricks with it, but if it's past basic math, I can't do it.
Ok. That's all I needed to ask.
Do you struggle with offending people? That's something I struggle with.
Sometimes I do, but I have also been taught how to handle it a bit better.
