Inventive Solutions for Everyday Problems: Is it an Autism Thing?

so I was wondering if anybody else on the spectrum like came up with crazy ideas that most people wouldn't think of or is it just me. like for example I'll drink like an entire pot of coffee I'm not own in the morning but I have two toddlers and it's hard to keep an eye on them when I have to go and refill my cup and they constantly get into things. so I decided that it would just be easier to grab the whole pot put creamer and sugar in it and use a straw to drink my coffee in the morning versus getting up and down and back and forth and even took it as far as when the coffee gets cold I'll just add ice to it so I have iced coffee. I feel like it's just like a weird quirk I have and that everybody just looks at me like I'm crazy but personally I feel like I'm a genius for coming up with inventive ways to fix things that aren't a normal problem but are to me. does anybody else like that?

Yes. Not agreeing blindly with social norms and expectations can cause you to come up with some wild ideas
