I'm not saying that you are a creep although your behavior is questionable at times. With that being said, I will say that I don't waste empathy on creeps. I've done far too much of that already. My empathy extends to people who, even if they've had a difficult life for whatever reason, still treat others decently.
By Questionable do you mean having a funny attitude towards women?

Remember women are not always very nice towards autistic guys so perhaps there is a bit of built up resentment.
Enough said.The only person responsible for your behavior is you.

This is why I wish women would stop using the term so liberally. Some behavior is creepy AF, but some of it is rather innocent at times and could also be seen as endearing if she likes it. Same behavior can result in two very different reactions.

Women are going to use the word when they deem it appropriate whether you like it or not, so if I were you, I’d just get used to it. What’s creepy to one person, may not seem so to another, especially when stuff like gender and lived experiences of harassment (etc) are taken into account.

So people aren't allowed to label everything they find creepy as creepy?

No, women need to lower the threshold of what they find creepy, a list should be made by men of what is and what isn't creepy, so women are easier to hit on

Women need to know that their feelings don’t matter unless they’ve been approved by an outside source. Otherwise, they’re lacking in empathy.
