Oh gosh - this is me 100%. I got an official Asperger Diagnosis in 2008.
And one thing it finally explained to me: why for certain contracts ($BIG_BANK_LTD SQL) I just stopped working when I had no interest in the project.
And it's crazy - I was on £££ per day and just COULD NOT do the work from lack of interest. Insane. I had to resign even though I knew this was an irresponsible thing to do.
For a year or two I actually switched to working as a care assistant in a home for the elderly. Then when I started a shift I just had to do my 12 hours shift - no scope for just freezing and not doing the work.

It’s possible you’re responding to dopamine deficiency (and responding positively to dopamine reception). There being so much overlap between ASD and ADHD, it’s worth considering seeking a diagnosis and seeing if you might respond well chemically to treatment.
