You forget the part where neurodivergents are perfectionists even when not performing because things being perfect feels satisfying. Everything aligned, everything in order, everything completed - it feels safe and it feels like closure. Plus, neurotypicals don't like you when you're perfect, they think you're acting like you're better than them, so it makes little sense to try and be perfect for their acceptance. My desire to do things perfectly has never bothered me, only other people.
