Depends on the problem.

All about getting through mazes, still doing it even after retiring.

Mazes are easy. In-laws... Ugh.

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

I had to do a lot of mazes on paper when in hospital as part of my recovery quite easy traced it out in my mind then used pen or pencil, took a few minutes to go through a stack. Still had it real life mazes more fun need to do lots of research.

 

[TBRS1]

Kind of.

If their base information is truly factual, than probably.

However, autistic people are as subject to assuming false facts as is anybody else, and false facts always lead to false conclusions (except when somebody gets lucky).

If they ever outlaw marriage, only outlaws will have in-laws...!

Many are easier if you solve them backwards.

 

[Ronald Zeeman]

I noticed my kids when really young had innate abilities to solve mazes.

 

[GrownupGirl]

I think I cause problems much more than I solve them.

I can solve technical problems, but am quite unable to get people to admit that there is a better way, even with working models.

Same, but with checklists and productivity numbers. (Some people benefit from low producitivity though, such as managers who want to be able to make bad reviews to keep down the competition, rather than help the company financially.) Some people are willing to be ignorant.

It turns out that the people with the power don't want better ways for people to meet their needs. They make more money with pollution, inefficiency, dependency, illness, and violence.

How true. Especially in these times when it's all about "repeat customers".

Yeah, capitalism is promoted as a way to ensure better value through competition, but the competition has been replaced by collusion. Just as one example, back in the dark days of DOS and only basic word processors, I had a one-floppy program called Grammatik that would check spelling, and also check context for to, too, and two, etc. It would flag any disagreement in tenses, and much more. It even had suggestions on style, which I used about half the time. Now, we are supposed to pay by the page, while losing any confidentiality.

Have an engineering degree but failed many times at work because I'm lousy with people and the anxiety was too much.
