Correct but so is the comment above you.

Non autistic people are just as incapable of communicating with me as i am with them, But i can communicate to people that are like me completely fine.

Repetition of a action or series of actions is not a symptom of any disability but a way to manage the actual struggles with living in a society that is not designed to include our way of thinking/living by creating predictable paths that work well for us.
