Toby Allen made one for a lot of Neuro-types and -conditions. (beware, some are a lot less cute than these two)
I like his Autism Monster more than the TBH-Creature. More cute and fluffy - more complex style. Too bad that means it is much less meme-able.
And the ADHD-Monster is okay, too.
What do you think?
I dub this technique 'prostresstinating'.
Even though I am aware of sounding incredibly cliché and cringe: The more you try to force it, the less success you'll have. Forget personality types. Forget 'effort'. People seem to instinctlively know when you're not having a good time or when you're outside your comfort zone. So have a good time first, and look for a mate second.
(Also, I am aromantic, so my sack of advice is probably worth only the sack)
This one speaks to me on multiple levels.
It's a reason I dropped my scepticism of medication and went to get a diagnosis and subsequent prescription. I am glad I did - and that it worked first try. (It's not guaranteed anything would, depending on unknown factors and probably autism also influences the effectiveness)
I can confirm: At first, it really feels that way. But now, half a year later, it balanced out a little and I am only medium fast. Still - much improvement compared to before.

"No, I don't really want to discuss the sword right now."
I can relate... If it is worth doing, it must be done 100% right, first try, zero margin for error, no rehearsals, no practise round.
Like rocket science!
(Except I know that's not how rocket science is done, either, but somehow that thought refuses to sink in)
Still looking for a good word describing that strange mental state you'll find yourself in when you know how to mask almost perfectly, but just learned that you can't keep that up any longer, because that was the thing that almost crushed you.
It was pretty bad a couple years ago. They learned.
Pet test. Success.
Just my kind of humor! I thought I had dozens of eligible images saved, but upon further inspection, most are actually either sufficiently dadaistic but without text, or the text is actually just a shitpost, or german. 🫤
I'll see if I can edit some into the desired format.
Serious reply: helpfulness of coping strategies is very much subjective.
Shot in the dark, not a doctor yadda yadda
Sounds like it could be burnout. (not only workaholics can get one) You can try some mitigation strategies for that and see if they help you.
