Do you have non-social/intelligence autistic traits too? Like difficulties in sensory habituation, being more easily overwhelmed by sensory or emotional stimuli, or a tendency to 'stim' (fidgeting with something to get constant tactile input in higher-stress/anxiety situations)?

yes, but it's really spotty? like i often can handle loud crowds no problem, but kind of randomly i cannot. like my "ears are screaming". i don't stim, but i classic stim hard (flapping hands, rocking) when i'm very stressed. i'm just very rarely stressed

Does it happen with other senses too? Like not being able to "tune out" a tag on a shirt or a smell in the room even when they're constant? (It's not that common of a symptom, but afaik it's unique to autism, and very prominent with my partner who is otherwise high-func)
