Wanting to solve every problem and dismissing solutions that don't fit constraints is not an autistic behavior. It's an engineering behavior, as in "this is what all engineers do." It's socially awkward when you can't turn it off, but it's not autism.


No, but social anxiety, and a strong preference to communicate in non-realtime text does fit with autistic behavior.
