@digitalcortex.bsky.socialMonotropic minds work like a tunnel, not a spotlight.
The depth is the strength. Leaving is the cost: the transition tax.
What helps: a parking note, a visible countdown, and cool-off time between tasks.
The tunnel is a strength. The exits need design.
@aliabreonmd.bsky.socialThis is fascinating: "the endothelial cells [around blood vessels in the brain] had half the normal level of a molecule called ATP." ATP = the energy unit used by all cells in the body. Potentially more support for the idea that Autism is a difference processing resource distribution. #Monotropism
@actuallyowltistic.comThis is why studying multiple subjects at once in school can be difficult for Neurodivergent folks. Some folks need to focus more on smaller amounts of items to be more successful.

@isabellefk.bsky.socialAmazing that TB - unlike educators, health professionals & fams - doesn’t seem to have noticed or learnt from key ND-authored theory & #EdRes since his peak social media years.
NHS-funded Autism Central provide free training for schs to improve #inclusion for all YP ❤️
@isabellefk.bsky.socialI just wanted to double check what/if TB learnt from ND-authored theory & #EdRes relating to #neurodiversity. Imv it’s impossible to square the circle of his classroom behaviour aims/norms with the successful/ethical #inclusion of #autistic, #ADHD & other ND YP.
No refs to eg #monotropism 🤷♀️
@autisticrealms.bsky.socialAnything @oolong.co.uk and I spot or is shared with us about #monotropism is collated in our Discord and also on the website
We need to do another update soon though! It is getting harder to keep on top of as time goes by!
