Watch someone play and see how much their focus is on the main task at hand and getting stronger versus how obsessed they are with making the factory perfect, and you can even diagnosis the level of autism on top of it.
If you are playing it then there is a foundational amount of autism to begin with. I think the level of efficiency into levels well beyond what the game needs is where we go up the scale into "capable of existing into normal society" all the way into "needs a disability check, cannot interact with humans."
Based entirely on my one friend who exists in the latter category, and his fucking mindboggling factory he bragged to me about once, I think that's a fair scale.
If he's your actual friend, do advise him about autism and the speedrunner to troon pipeline. Do remember there is a strong link between autists and troonery.
It's also a great ADHD test. I have diagnosed ADHD and I couldn't keep up with ANY of the shit in Factorio because there was too much shit to micromanage. I got bored of it quick and went back to playing Devil May Cry 4.
I think game's like factorio are decent brain games. it's good to exercise your noggin.
Its also a great autism test.

So what is the scale we are using for this? If only bare min then zero autism and if hyper efficient then there is no return?

Shit, Oh well, at least I'm in the capable of existing into normal society, haha
And if you mod it would that indicate even more autism or less xD
