This episode comes with a trigger warning for discussion of sexual assault and victimisation. This was another uplanned episode, brought about by a recent discussion I had.

Autistic people are often ‘monotropic’. Monotropic minds tend to have their attention pulled more strongly towards a smaller number of interests at any given time, leaving fewer resources for other processes. It seems not only autistic people may experience monotropism and it may be more widly experienced by neurodivergent people, such as ADHDers.

But it is real. It explores the concept of radical self acceptance.
I share how things are going; the good the bad and the ugly. I also share some persecttives that help me get through when it feels a bit tough.

Big love,
