As far as I know im not autistic that I know of by like another commenter I think its more that I get bored if I get into the realm of being good at it or I was good at it and am out of practice but it drives me nuts how bad I am now so I just don't want to do it enough to get back to the level. And then worst of all I have this thing that makes me want to try it a different way which the large majority of times is worse than the standard way. Its a good thing if your like doing research or investigation but not so much for getting things done. I always felt like some sort of ivory tower type in some ways. Better at looking into something, grasping it, and giving advice on how to go or getting it bootstrapped but im kinda a sucky doer. Oh man though when it comes to fitting as much stuff into a space like packing. im your man.
