If I am, it’s incredibly mild. Mostly read this community because my son has extreme autism. He is 13, only says 1-3 word sentences, can’t use the bathroom by himself (can go to bathroom and use toilet but can’t put his underwear back on), watches TV way below his age bracket(blues clue, known as “blue” and team umizoomi, known as “bot”) etc.
Anyways, size and type of screws would be important decisions to make, for example if mounting shelf to dry wall you wouldn’t want an ultra fine threading on the screw. But it’s not important in the first step. There’s a good chance you actually need/want several types of screws. But the first step is meant to be quick and easy to give you the feeling of atleast doing something instead of paralyzed by the complexity of the whole task.
It wasn’t hurtful at all. I was just trying to explain that I’m not really autistic but have a connection to the autistic community.
If you break a task into many subtasks but still can’t complete it because you get too stuck on the details, maybe this coping strategy isn’t for you. You can either work on this issue(maybe with a professional or maybe self-practice) or find another strategy which works for you. Like some people release stress by sitting silently and concentrating on their breathing. This just makes me more stressed because my mind searches for more things to think about, probably why I need sounds and voices to sleep(pointless stream on conscious talk is like benedryl to me) . Not saying silent meditating doesn’t help people, it’s just not the solution for me.

I’m sorry if my comment was hurtful, I was trying to be light hearted in the spirit of the meme.
The point I was trying to make is that just because something is illogical and even if we know it’s illogical, doesn’t mean we can just stop, ya know?
