I think a thing a lot of people are missing in the comments - which OP even mentions in the description above - is that this simulates their experience, not every experience. It's like the oft-repeated mantra "if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person". For one person, maybe both eating and skipping breakfast aren't great choices - sometimes there aren't any good choices. You're either dealing with a caloric defecit and you're going to risk doing something that'll make you stand out - ie: unmasking - or you're doing something that doesn't feel good at the time, and will sap your immediate energy. It might be as simple as 'eating breakfast gives me time which I'll unwisely use for circular thinking or stressing'.

For me, even though I didn't personally relate to a lot of the situations and experiences - not a software dev, working for a small company that knows and supports my neurodiversity - the overall feel had just enough familiarity for me to go "yep", and it actually got me thinking about my own choices and self-care, on a day where I'd been beating myself up about things outside my control.

Good work, OP.
