I agree on the 'analysis' but not on the conclusion, since it's not really an autism thing to do. Autism thing would be to over analyze and structure the requests, up to the point of having no output due to this at all. On the other hand, adhd is unstructured actions being triggered.
I am not a doctor, but on the spectrum also with a direct family member having adhd, but of course there's always margin for error and people are very different but that's my understanding. (also I don't want to convince you but am always interested in varying opinions to learn new things)
Oh, I blame my aspergers for noticing. My conclusion is really just "Maybe don't flood the community"
Hehe, that's fair. I noticed a while ago but thought ok if it annoys me, I should block the poster. She/he just seems the type to post like this and I don't want to change her/him.
