summary

Claims that more than 90% of autistic developers are hyper‑sensitive to stimuli, that slower brain response time explains perceived rigidity, and that executive functioning functions like an executive functioning as CPU drive day‑to‑day failure points. Practical fixes used: mind‑mapping (OpenGenius), moving planning into GitHub and Microsoft stacks, one‑vs‑multi‑monitor setups, and GitHub Copilot as an assist. Examples: planning an overseas conference is easier than local groceries, and adapting tools and workflows (agile, clear availability, written expectations) measurably reduces breakdowns and absenteeism.
