If there’s background music or noise of any kind I have absolutely no hope of being able to focus on anything else. I assume others on the spectrum have this.

spot on. I still get some read time in, but... sheesh.

Not cheap my investment at mitigation environment noise (dtla) - soundwall, ear plugs etc. ASD blows chunks that regard. The more energy the more tolerate - catch 22 - then from that of better attitude/mood, a better focus. My experience, pointless to 'you.. turn' askin (here). Opposite effect, near everytime. Same a** - right now - above has at makin noise (management notified tennant prior), the winner next door (sarcasm), one 2am late complaint results? Increased suddenly instance late night noise since... etc etc. Pissing contest - norm.

Word to the wise. Find place conducive to learning (ie reading), that has for it as key feature - like-minded VALUES. On that note crap gettin worse dtla; do I aim to divest and relocate. Cheers.
