=asin((cos("hours past or before solar noon" * 15 * 3.14/180) * cos(angle of declination * 3.14/180) * cos(latitude *3.14/180)) + sin(angle of declination * 3.14/180) * sin(latitude *3.14/180)))/(3.14/180)
Where solar time is adjusting the true clock time so that the highest angle of the sun is fixed to occur at exactly 12pm. Basically adjust the clock to force what times it would be if solar noon were to be the new 12pm on the clock. This time reading is what the hour angle is derived from.
Angle of declination is a measure of the calendar day. If the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer on northern hemisphere summer solstice, it measures 23.44 on 21 June. On equinox it's 0 on 20 March and 23 September, on northern hemisphere winter solstice it's -23.44 on 21 December. Currently 25 April it's about 13.1.
After you put all this together this excel formula will give you a very good approximation how high above the horizon the sun is at the afternoon time you are interested in testing. For morning just take how many hours before solar noon as it will be almost perfectly symmetric to the afternoon reading. "Close enough to it"
You don't think many of us in here are on the spectrum? I think it's time people saw that a brain can be well-rounded, can be fixed to certain areas of focus, or can be extremely focused in a narrow place. Sometimes the sharp focus area has extreme practical use and sometimes not. When it does, you have an inventor of something like a Bill Gates. When it doesn't, the person's life purpose is never made known. The drawback is a lack of skills in place of where the brain is less attended to through life.
In the best interest of the world is to channel the strength of any narrow-focuser as close as possible to a practical applied purpose for world progress. Almost always there exists one or more.
The more fixated a brain is in a specific topic area, the less likely that brain will cross over to social practicalities. Because of this condition, people have capacities that other people don't that build on human progress, but they aren't marketable and this is easily fixable with a little intervention. Otherwise, you are ignoring something of value to society on superficial grounds.
Think of the AS person as the k-cup without water and another person has who doesn't have what it takes to be a k-cup, has no problem finding hot water, can bring that k-cup to the Keurig and make sure the hot water is there because the k-cup isn't skilled at finding the hot water
Otherwise society is just saying the solution is no coffee
Then a lower functioning autistic is like a k-cup with no tools that we know of that can poke a hole in it
