I love spreadsheets (hey, we all have our weird interests) so at first thought this was an ASD meme.
How is liking spreadsheets connected to autistic spectrum disorder? (Im being genuine here)
B.3. Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (e.g., strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests).
Excel is a highly structured environment that follows strict rules and procedures to generate outcomes, often sorting and making sense of "messy" inputs. Prime candidate for an ASD hobby/obsession.
Good question. I have known many people on the spectrum in my life including several close family members and loving spreadsheets is not something I would attribute to any of them.
Loving spreadsheets isn't something everyone with ASD loves, and I didn't mean to imply that, just the hyper-fixated interest (8 hours) on a something which I personally happen to love.
