    Hyperconcentration on problem-solving.

    Yes, thank you, it's quite an interesting framework and it's totally related! Sadly, no, but this is the kind of information google gave me, so I should definitely use some other words for the description :) I don't mean any negative connotation, a problem is just a task that needs to be done...

    Hyperconcentration on problem-solving.

    Looks like I need help formalising my query, because I can't google anything useful on the keywords in the topic. So, one of my key behavioural features is seeing every situation as a problem that needs to be solved and I have no other ways of seeing, so it looks kinda like an AS feature (if...

    I feel alone, even among other autistics.

    The way you arranging your thoughts looks like you should have some talents in analysis and/or problem-solving. If so, it helps me to think of the good memory like of something I don't really need, because I could get any needed data from the environment (internet mostly, thank Science!). And...

    Work Problems

    Big big isolating headphones should help a lot if you are allowed to wear it at the workplace. You could forward incoming calls to your cellphone and make it vibrate or blink or play some relaxing music into headphones or something else that will not stress you. Other that that I hope you'll...

    Anyone on the spectrum suffer through this too?

    Oh yes... And while you could totally deal with it, it could take years of exercising. Now, when I have a wife who's even more messy, I'd say the better way is to start communicating with messier people first.

    Searching for people like me, who thinks in systems and only in systems.

    Thank you all so much for your replies. I see clearly that I'm in the right place. I'm just so overwhelmed with emotions that I can't think and can't answer in detail but I surely will. Long time since I feel hope. Not accustomed to it.

    Thank you for your answer. A great cat(s?) you have! I can't say I'm an atheist, I just don't trust groundless opinions and religion is all about that. Also, cats, for example, are far more interesting subject than any mystical stuff.

    Searching for people like me, who thinks in systems and only in systems.

    Hello and have a great day (or night)! I don't think I have significant ASD traits other than sensory (e.g. I really HATE silk) and maybe rules/order-related, my RAADSR score is about 110, which is pretty medium. But people with HFA/AS are the only ones who I can identify with. Others just...
