This is a tough one. I'm autistic, but I also grew up in an abusive household so "stress" is my normal and I don't function anywhere near as well without it
Most of my life I couldn't write unless I was under deadline. Then I got a job working for an (invisibly to me) abusive boss (who I absolutely adored) and was nearly always ahead of schedule
In my head it was the best job I ever had, but my body told another story
