If you’re autistic, why do you want the highest abilities, skills, knowledge and experiences?

I want to always put my best effort in everything I do because I have a tendency to be a perfectionist. This is why I often want the highest abilities, skills, knowledge, and overall best experiences. I feel this is ok in moderation, but sometimes I take it to extremes and expect too much out of myself. I also am naturally curious and like acquiring knowlegde. I love learning new things, especially about animals and science. My ability to ultra focus on something helps me to acquire knowledge.

I can sometimes be the classic overachiever because of my tendency towards perfectionism.
