I think it can. I’m often reluctant to learn new mechanics, even if I would like to know them. This can lead to playing suboptimally, ignoring certain aspects of the game partially or entirely.

I don’t know that I really deal with it in any substantial way other than being aware I’m doing it. Sometimes I realise how it restricts me and if it bothers me too much I may feel motivated enough to try figuring it out.

Some of this is also partly due to inflexibility, me being on the spectrum.
