Social codes don't have inherent value. They vary over time, places, culture, etc...

Right and wrong are subjective. You can try to debate for moral absolutism, but I won't respond.

I was describing "doing what one thinks is expected to be the right choice as defined by code without incentives to do so other than the personal desire to uphold the code by making the choice it suggests"

I'm German, too. From Germany.

And I disagree with your interpretation regarding cause and effect. First the sadness exists - you can also call it social burnout or depression. Second the feeling of being drained causes you to cancel stuff, for reasons you make up - causing you to be even more depressed in the long term. A feedback loop.

We're talking about two different things. Both fit the definition above.

That's a good question to ask your local pediatrician.

I think “Highly developed morals” in this context doesn't mean being a "better" person by following a "superior" code of conduct.

It means a higher chance to follow any established code out of principle - even to one's own detriment - even with zero chance of getting caught cheating - even without getting to have bragging rights on upholding integrity. (But only if that code is properly understood first and deemed reasonable. Arbitrary BS-rules don't have that effect) There was a study about it, I think, from Bazil?

I'll not read too much into the computer analogy. It will become problematic, when people spin that further. But I get what you mean.

If you don't mind me asking: What was the ultimate cause to make you look into Neurodiversity this late in life?

I know about the game. It's not the best entrance to that particular rabbit hole.

It's a collaborative writing project - like the SCP Foundation.

Actual translation would be "Wall-creating sadness". Going by the definition, it's the sadness that builds the wall. But I admit that the word in isolation could also be interpreted your way.

For me (who has all 3) the items on that chart aren't symptoms. They're personality traits.

Posted this a couple weeks ago in /AuDHD. I was wondering how long it would take to circulate and be reposted here. 😄

I don't need pills for those.

...also had to look up what that even was, and... uuuuuuuuugh. Do not want to go on that trip.

I feel called out... 😶
