I definitely feel an emotional response when I am interrupted from my line of thinking. Whether it's doing a task or thinking through a problem, any sort of request that I need to handle which isn't related to the task can be difficult to switch gears to. Fwiw, I was diagnosed autistic and OCD back in the middle of the pandemic because I loved lock down and didn't want things to go back to the way they were. I had so much uninterrupted time where I could think or solve problems. However I didn't realize that loving lockdown was not a normal thing; someone suggested I talk to a psychologist which is what lead to my diagnosis. Hope you can find some answers for you.

I also loved the lockdowns. I used to joke with everybody that I'd been preparing for it since a teenager, and that all of my favourite activities were solo activities anyway. Finally I didn't have to pretend, I could just be at home and happy for X days, and nobody was judging me for it.

It would have been amazing if it wasn't for that whole pandemic situation.

Lockdown was heaven on earth. Suddenly normal to have only comms via internet, or play games or watch movies. No social BS like birthdays or drinking coffee with friends (they have coffee at home, too). Groceries delivered to the doorstep. Work from home (OK, sucks with kids being noisy), ample amounts of space in train, theatre. Bring own food to theatre. God I loved going to the theatre/movie so much with my oldest kid. Shittiest was the video calls. I hate those, just text or maybe audio is fine (TTS/STT too) can't read the body language anyway. Even had a neat job during lockdown, obviously got laid off recently..

I think most people loved lockdown, but the people that couldn't handle it just wouldn't shut up about it.
