I'm curious to know how the results change if I narrow down the population:
Please vote if you're on the spectrum and also have some executive dysfunction like ADD/ADHD
I really need to know this, so please boost for visibility:
Are there any people out there on the autistic spectrum that have found a format of living that works for them, that makes them happy?
If you're on the spectrum and feel generally happy or content: do you have a routine, specific coping mechanism(s) or special life conditions that you recommend or feel privileged with? Did you feel happier after excluding some particular element of stress in some way?
If you're on the spectrum and feel generally unhappy: do you think there could be a happy existence for you if society enabled it?
This post describes precisely something about my brain that I've tried putting into words for a long time.
I had previously written "Manjaro xcef" instead of xfce because initials tend to be absorbed in a certain way where order doesn't matter much after the first letter. I spent years thinking those old tvs were "CTR" instead of CRT.
It does not go to the point of dyslexia but I do need to constantly check my terminal commands. Maybe I should just make aliases for all permutations.

It gets paradoxically worse (or at least not better) in distance mode, where my audio processing issues cannot be compensated for.
pair-programming autistic/adhd struggle rant
Everyone in my school seems to be obsessed with pair programming and wants everyone to do it. I've tried it over and over (as it's been mandatory) but I've never been good at it.
I find it absolutely exhausting. I can't even think when someone is looking at my screen and I can't think either when I don't have access to the keyboard.
It adds to the feeling of being wrong and inadequedate. Please just let me work by myself.
I'm not really sure what combination of words represent me. But here are some emotes: 🐙 🐏 🕷️ |🚲 | 🇨🇴 🇸🇪 |
