I actually do fairly well at planning out tasks and timeframes as long as they are fairly simple tasks and I know exactly how to do them. Planning and estimating for IT Development tasks is generally accepted as something that is hard to do accurately even for neurotypical people. Those things are highly complex and full of unknowns and uncertainty. But if you are an IT Developer it’s something you have to figure out how to do…it’s a requirement on the job, and if you can’t figure it out you get a lot of people upset with you. :-/
About the empath thing, I think there is something to it. I think I have a particular sensitivity to sensory input of all types. I can’t help but think of my poor roommate nearly 10 years ago…he would come in and just start blabbing on about some aspect of his day, and pull me out of my thoughts, and have the TV going at the same time. My attention was like a pinball bouncing around inside my skull, and ended up snapping at him. He didn’t know why I was suddenly so irritable, and honestly neither did I. LOL
