You can push start and auto start-stop buttons at the same time and the engine starts with AS/S turned off.
So if you have two working fingers next to another, no more annoyance
In view of the latest news from Ford and the EPA, I suspect a future software upgrade will allow anyone with ASS, to turn it off permanently.
Ford et.al. don't want to talk about it, but a few dealers are: To wit, replacement starters and/or flywheels on some models are all but non existent. Dealers are even resorting to local auto parts stores when necessary.
I believe we all reminded them about excess wear and tear, didn't we?
