Like many autistic people, I like things to be ‘right.’ I like things to be done perfectly and accurately. I focus on small details and insist they are correct.
Although there are instances when this way of being is useful (such as in science and maths), there are also instances when it is hindering (such as spending excessive hours perfecting a piece of work that was already ‘good enough’).
Recently I’ve been trying to change my thinking to focus on patterns and trends instead of single details. Sometimes I feel this can be much more helpful to me!
