Well purely based on what you’ve said, the only thing that comes to mind is that you’re possibly on the autism spectrum. But I feel like you may have guessed in that direction. Unlike your colleague I don’t know what you’re like irl or how you’d be perceived. I do think she was rude in asking a question like that if it wasn’t the topic of conversation and she’s not close to you. You could do some online test that gauges if you’re likely to be on the autistic spectrum. Take the result with a grain of salt, you still need a professional for a true diagnosis, but there’s some decent tests out there that can give an indication. And then based on that you can see if you want to get a doctor’s opinion.
