>> I'm not diagnosed with autism, but I have traits. Be patient with me, I'm very slow. <<

This is a low-pressure community that mostly posts "how to do the things" and occasionally has people asking questions. Patience is preferred because this community is designed for people new to Dreamwidth (plus more experienced users who want to help).

There are many forms of neurodiversity, not all of which have been codified. In any case, the idea is to work with the brain you have.

>> What are some of your favorite hobbies?
Writing, reading, and playing video games.<<

See Writing communities and i_love_games or gaming.

>>What television shows and movies do you like?
Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, Acro Trip, Howl's Moving Castle, Adolescence of Utena; I like a lot of anime.<<

Fandom activities appear on fandomcalendar. Some fandoms have their own communities but there is also anime_manga and other general comms.

>> What kinds of friends would you like to attract to your blog?
Any, really. I'd just like to meet people with similar interests. <<

There are general and thematic Add Me communities for that purpose.

>> How often do you check your friends feed?
I'd like to check them often, but I don't have any friends on here.<<

Some folks like to start their reading page with communities based on their interests, which makes it easier to find blogs on similar topics and make friends with common interests.
