Is this a symptom of autism? I do this a lot without knowing.

Not technically, but it could be a pattern that is indicative of autism. If you’re interested in assessing yourself, here are a bunch of online tests that could give more clarity. However, no online test is sufficiently valid enough to diagnose autism. You need a thorough assessment by an autism specialist that uses a standardized scale such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale-2 (ADOS-2) which takes hours and maybe even multiple visits.

I don’t know enough about that test to judge your results, but it looks like you’re kind of even. It might be helpful to talk to a professional in autism.

Here are my results on the Aspie Quiz:

Self diagnosis is valid as well as long as you don’t need accommodations at work/school.

Yeah, but you could be wrong and point yourself in the wrong direction.
