Self Diagnosing Autism Late - Order & Intensity: My Need for Rules & Deep Dive Obsessions

Why does my autistic brain crave rigid rules, perfect systems, and obsessive deep dives into interests? In this fourth video of my late-diagnosis journey, I explore the powerful twin forces of The Need for Order and The Intensity of focus that shape my world. I talk about planning my workdays to the minute, my black-and-white sense of justice that causes friction, and why I can't relax in a cluttered house. I also open up about the all-consuming nature of my 'special interests' – from a 10-year quest to unlock every tank in a video game, to spending thousands on collections like Funko Pops, and the compulsion to become an expert in everything from beer kegs to film lore. If you've ever been called a "stickler for rules," "obsessive," or compared to Sheldon Cooper, this video is for you. // MY JOURNEY // This is Video #4 in my series about discovering I'm autistic at 40.
