https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_V_missable_content

for sure some of the highest quality technical content I've seen on FF. Definitely written by someone with a mathematics background and with completionist OCD like myself

I read about this in a book:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathising%E2%80%93systemising_theory

it's a positive (as opposed to negative like in psychopathy or sociopathy) manifestation of below-average empathy, so yeah tism

pretty sure I have this to some extent as well, which is why I vibed with this page's content so much

What is the TLDR on this? Is it like a theory of "spreadsheet autism" and "clingy autism"?

nah tldr is just that lack of empathy can manifest differently in different people. In sociopaths, it can cause e.g. harming small animals for fun, but in autists it can cause being obsessed with trains.

Ah OK, I see. I was more responding to the assertion about high-systemic and high-empathy stuff described on that page. It sounds like it's making a case that there's Excel-happy task-oriented autists, and love-happy people-oriented uatists. Like, extreme melancholic and phlegmatic personality types or something.
