Is monotropism the best explainer for autism? [ Ссылка ]

Hi friends, in today's video, I complete the new monotropism questionnaire, whose pre-print was first made available in June 2023. This questionnaire helps us to understand how monotropic we are, and how this might compare to the tested sample in the study (1).

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.

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 :)
