Can Aspergers people be more picky?

I couldn't get any pickier and I think that's true for a lot of other Aspies (for want of a better word) but some Aspies

are more reasonable in their requirements.

I certainly am. Us Aspies tend to like routines, predictability, & have sensory issues so it makes perfect sense to me that we would be more picky.

In most contexts yes.

Unless there's not enough anxiety, not enough inclination to perfectionism, not enough higher or stricter expectations, or not enough to literalness to contexts or stricter/more sensitive/more specific preferences and/or need -- even with the awareness or knowledge that 'it shouldn't' -- from holding autistics back into enough recklessness, apathy, or tolerance towards the uncertainty over choices, and consider 'riskier', 'foreign or new', unconfirmed alternatives or more vague options.



In my case, I'm getting less picky over time.
Not because I'm getting less sensitive or more apathetic or become impulsive (not the case so far).
But I'm acquiring certain knowledge, certain sensations, certain concepts... And figuring how to process it, how to accept it, how to work with it, how to regulate it, how to understand it...
