    ASD being autism spectrum disorder and that flow breaking is an issue for people on the spectrum?

      Yes. Though I don’t know how exclusive it is to ASD.

      Cognitive flexibility is an issue. If you’re in a flow, say discussing a subject or working on something that has your attention and someone changes or tries to redirect your focus it can be very frustrating and can cause an emotional response.

      ADHD and ASD can have a lot of comorbidity. So now you’ve got the ability to hyperfocus (ADHD and ASD both share this) and the emotional response to being forced out of that hyperfocus.

      Simple summaries of some of the traits in the article here regarding ASD.
