🐱Join the Autisti-cats: • 🧡 Announcing The Scratching Post Comm... • Monotropism is one of the most related theories of autism, but how does it explain the variety of autistic experiences? • I'm Mike, and I'm a late diagnosed autistic person although I have had a lifetime of autistic experiences as an undiagnosed autistic person - I have always been autistic. On this channel, I hope to share with you my thoughts, advice, where appropriate, and evidence and research where needed, like in this video. • References: • 1. Attention, monotropism and the diagnostic criteria for autism by D. Murray, Michael L. Lesser, and Wendy Lawson (2005) • 2. The cost of interrupted work: More speed and stress by Gloria Mark (2008) • As always, if you have met one autistic person, you have met one autistic person; although the diagnostic criteria are set, every individual is unique and of course, 'on a spectrum'. • Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist, or a diagnostician although, for many reasons, I believe like much of the autistic community that self-diagnosis is valid. If you are autistic, or questioning whether you may be on the spectrum, you are very welcome on this channel. • Mike :) • Chapter markers - thanks for the reminder in the comments section lol • 0:00 Intro to monotropism • 0:52 Hello • 1:41 Paper 1 • 3:00 Superpower? • 3:52 Downsides • 5:10 Social Interactions • 7:43 Passions • 8:15 Perception • 8:51 Attention Tunnelling • 10:48 Flow States • 11:28 Paper 2 • 12:02 Cafe example • 13:46 Comorbidities? • 14:00 Masking • 14:27 Gaming/sports analogy • 15:00 Tip 1: Use new routines • 15:40 Tip 2: Set boundaries • 16:05 Tip 3: Use timers • 16:18 Tip 4: Create a transition ritual • 16:39 Summary
