> I got myself positively diagnosed also, not autistic in any way

I'm the opposite, I have never gotten myself diagnosed. As you say, there doesn't seem to be much point to this.

> Why? there is no clinical significance to this.

I'm not really looking at this from a clinical perspective, but from a research perspective. From the perspective of finding out more about why this condition exists and what causes it, I think it is pretty significant there are large number of people who seem to be affected in similar ways, but for whom the condition is not so problematic.
