@nbouscal I'm the opposite of liking routines / structure / doing things the same way each time / factual details vs big picture / classifications & collections / numbers - like I have 5 different routes between office n home because I get bored... also I don't stim or see the appeal of it? I've never felt that I didn't intuitively understand social dynamics or read ppl's emotions, never been excluded or bullied, and do get annoyed w autistic ppl for not grokking social context; I like eye contact and communicating intuitively by touch All my sensory stuff is in one direction of being over sensitive to everything and I've noticed it varies w my mood episodes so maybe it's just an aspect of bipolar that the volume gets turned up too loud when hypomanic
