Isn't autism sometimes accompanied by a speech impediment?

You have listed many traits which are commonly associated with autism. Are you autistic? No idea.

Never heard of it. I think it's irrelevant, considering the fact that Autism is all brain and does no damage to the body (or the brain). I have a somewhat low, masculine voice for a girl (meaning I can't scream a high-pitched scream), but it is again irrelevant, as not every autistic girl has a voice like that.

AS isn't associated with speech impediments but it is associated with unusual ways of talking (monotany for one) . Maybe that is where you got confused
Hmm, I've got nearly all of those. Not the elderly sounding voice though - I sound a lot younger than my real age, and not the stiff gaze and rigid gait. I have rigid adherence to personal rules but not to outwardly imposed rules and regulations.
