Comfort zones are an interesting concept here.
Environment and social factors seem to have a significant impact here.
Also, it appears to be common enough for ABDLs new to voiding in nappies to struggle at first.
I don't know the representation between neurotypical backgrounds vs. those with Autism, but change demands adaptation, which is often difficult for a large number of people, even for those not considered neurodivergent.
Can you please clarify this?
Do you mean that there is something in particular that they may require to remain consistent despite the change?
Autism is a very broad term and there are almost certainly those who have it that adapt well to change and others who do not.
Autism / autistic spectrum is a very broad term with different levels. There is no real measurable way to quantify it other than by observation, which itself is flawed due to varied base references.
From years of scientific research into this, the closest way to describe it is an overload of information, which in no way explains or does it justice. Simply, it is that every human sence is turned up full volumn with no way to turn it down.
This line of thought somewhat explains a common medical treatment for people on the spectrum and/or stressed and/or any form of anxiety - to focus on a single memory / task / sequence. Following that concept, it might explain the infantilistic drive - to maybe go to a time where some of the human senses were non functional and the information being pushed into the mind was much less. That idea also complies with ones problem solving methodology - to search in ones mind for when they dealt with similar before.
A baby/child finds comfort in something soft - like a plushie / blankie / thick diaper. *Newborn senses exist, but need growth to fine tune same. With a person in the spectrum, as a newborn, the mind has the ability to handle the lack of data being fed into it, but as the senses develop, it quickly gets to a stage of overloading.
My own actions does effect my interactions both in person and online where, lets use this post as an example - I wrote and corrected this text, by MS Word count, 230 odd times. Where I interact with others, I have to write down what I want to say beforehand - as in the interaction, I am evaluating every possible scenario over and over again which creates large pauses - and basically prevents any meaningfull comunication. I am not claiming that I am on the spectrum, and disagree with a medical diagnosis of same as when it was done, I was young and very shy. Today I am stronger, maybe due to constant self analysis and/or maybe to having to be due to being diaper dependant = in reality, I don't know, but I will take any advantage in this crazy world that I can.
The concept, I think that you see is that people that are neurodivergent even exist. Who are we to say what is normal and what is not? There can be an average in a list, but nobody is mr/mrs average. We are all unique and different - so there is really no normal and also, no abnormal.
The human is a master at adaption - which is required for survival. There used to be a TV show, '1000 Ways to Die' which portrayed the mistakes certain people made that caused their death - and used that as a form of comedy. What was key about the program was not the program but more of the introduction
"
Death...is everywhere. Most of us try to avoid it, others can't get out of its way. Every day we fight a new war against germs, toxins, injury, illness, and catastrophe. There's a lot of ways to wind up dead. The fact that we survive at all is a miracle. Because every day we live, we face... 1000 Ways to Die.""
There is a lot of truth in that statement - and it also eludes to the miracle that is the lifespan of a human, but that miracle is dependant on billions of decisons per second that the mind handles without blinking, and it needs to in order to survive.
*Newborn Senses
A newborn child is can sense light, sound, smell, taste and touch but each is highly restricted.
- everything it sees is in shades of light and dark, but can only focus within roughly 10".
- hearing is almost fully developed before birth to such an extent that it recognises its parent voice, and most important, their heartbeat.
- taste is somewhat developed, but it is coarse as compared to youth.
- touch is also somewhat developed, but like all senses, needs improvement
at the diversity of this community and its acceptance for all of the different forums topics. It really is a good to see. ADISC really is a vibrant and varied community, that comes together. 
. Imagine if I told the quack that m. 
it would be another section 
there is no wright or wrong way just follow you heart
