Is DST (and sleep hygiene) also such a problem for many/most with ASD/autism?
All I know is that sleep cycles are off (longer or shorter than a day) in both disorder spectrums.
The prediction round is extended by another 24 hours, totalling 72 hours (a few have already passed).

I'm sorry that I won't be answering the questionnaire - I would try but I have a lot of difficulty in understanding and the game is too much for me to figure out. But to answer the part about sleep - it's a big problem for me too, I keep to a very precise routine and my own sleep troubles mess it up and so make me very anxious and can lead to panic attacks and autism meltdowns+shutdowns. With my fibromyalgia, which autists are more susceptible to than NTs, the anxiety caused by the altered routine can cause severe pain and collapsing for me. With missed sleep I tend to cry a lot during the day from tiredness as well, and the stress from feeling tired then leads to more meltdowns.
