>when I was at a hospital and 3 people started playing music from their phones at the same time I had to run away from the room

This is an indicator or autism? Because almost everyone would have this reaction. I can't even stand when one person plays music from their phone.

I think you may be projecting your experience as the "normal" one, or not understanding the magnitude of "I had to". It's not like, "this is unpleasant" it's like, "I am in a life threatening situation and I must leave to survive".

If you feel a fight or flight response to someone playing music, then you might be autistic, but that's certainly not the reaction everyone has.
